Totally get where you’re coming from with the tribal fretboard @eric.kiser. Initially I was sort of disappointed with the dots but they’re so much more user friendly and what I’m used to.
I’ll grab a photo of the back once I’ve finished horse feeding duties and repaired the 4 rails that the Clydesdale has broken
Folded today and put a set of flat wounds on the Devil Ray and a thumb rest ( but with double sided sticky tape instead of screws)
After adding new strings I also lowered the action to suit my playing style as it was very high.
Sounds and plays much more to my liking now
