looking for Emmons chrome fretboards

Post by Lynn Kasdorf »

I want to replace my beat up fretboards on my Emmons SKH. I see from old posts that the late Jerry Roller used to sell the old style Emmons fretboards with the chrome frets and flat black rather than white frets.
Is there a source for these now?

Yup, they sure do.
The chrome frets disappear in a lot of stage lighting situations.

I solved the problem years ago with some white automotive pinstriping tape that was exactly the width of the chrome frets.
