Electric Guitar Kit Subfretboard Telecaster Ash

Electric Guitar Kit Subfretboard Telecaster Ash:

Discover all the sonic possibilities provided by the Electric Guitar Kit Subfretboard Telecaster Ash. Developed by Javier Alonso and Pablo del Real, the Subfretboard system consists of a neck with a metal piece that runs along its entire length and from which the frets themselves emerge. This design, where the frets and nut are made of the same material and are screwed to a central cavity in the body, dramatically increases the resonance, sustain and perfectly balances the volume between the strings. All this results in a guitar with a much more balanced sound, without the need for pedals or further editing in the recordings.

How to refret then?

Any change is dauting, we understand. The Subfretboard system completely changes the concept of individual frets that fit over the wood as they are made from the same piece of metal that goes underneath where the fretboard would normally be. But not to fear: the alloy used, Zicral, is stronger than traditional nickel silver frets, and the system is designed so that the frets have a height that allows them to be ground up to four times. More than enough. In addition, the system allows the use of different woods and materials in the space between frets, which opens the door to combinations never seen before. Weight is not a problem either: this alloy is very light and a neck with this system weighs no more than an ordinary one.

We invite you to visit this blog post to learn more. Try the Subfretboard system that gave so much to talk about at NAMM and for which gurus of the stature of Tom Anderson have had words of praise.

Technical specifications:

The body of this guitar has all the necessary holes milled for mounting the electronics and the Subfretboard system. It also has the neck and bridge screw holes drilled, as well as the string holes through the body.

The body has been sanded to remove the most obvious marks from the cutting and milling process, but it will always be necessary to sand with finer grit sandpaper before any finishing.

Center cavity milled to accommodate the Subfretboard system, allowing for any combination of pickups.

Pickguard holes are NOT drilled.

Milled for ferrules on the back.
