I just measured the fretboards from my Super Pro, and they are 18" lg, 2 13/16" at the narrow end, and 3 5/16" at the wide end. Evidently there are some variations.

Thank you. Does anyone have the measurements of the Coop replacement fretboards?

Harry; Coop and Tom Bradshaw's replacement Shobud fretboard are exact dimensions and calculations of the Shobud plastic raised fretboard.
That particular shobud fretboard was the most precise fretboard made.
They have 26 frets and they are calculated for a 24" scale steel guitar.

Thanks Ricky, but what are the exact dimensions of that fretboard. I don't have one to measure.
