If you are talking about the Zombie Blues Man guitar, it is mine, but I loaned it to Justin to do some instructional videos.

Is that Justin Johnsons guitar

the 'how to build ' book I purchased mentioned NOTHING about the fretboard height. ARRGH !

Going to try and add a fret board. Guess I'll have to pull the teeth of the existing neck. Novocaine, please !!

Brilliant thanks Don. You've made me appreciate that the guitar I've just had bought for has been made for slide and not strumming (as I want to practice) Guess I've got some work to do to put some frets in and to lower the bridge and nut somewhat. (it's almost 1/4 inch above the neck. Cheers mate

Dan, thanks again for this. My action is perfect now!

Thanks for the kind comments everyone. I know how frustrated I was when I started building, so I just try to pass along what I learned along the way.
