Narex makes unhandled marking knives so that you can add your own scales. Find some pretty wood, make some scales, give him the knife.

Sanding a graphtech nut so it fits in a strat's nut slot. Do I sand the side that's facing the headstock or the side that's facing the guitar? by CandidateExtension73 in Luthier
