Make a Modern Multi-Scale Guitar - Ep 1 Fretboard Layout and Fret Slot Cutting

Welcome to Ben's workshop and a new series where Ben builds a guitar from scratch. No more Kits for the time being.

The original Nebula guitar featured here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbgwfWZXgBo was so well received that it sold immediately...twice.

In this series Ben will be building the new and improved Nebula 2.0 as a custom order. Different from the original, this guitar will be a multi-laminate neck, modern fanned fret, semi-hollow, electro-acoustic beauty.
This series should be about 10-12(ish) episodes.
