Thank you! I had several people ask me for that very thing locally when I first posted this, but interest died before I had a chance to work on it. My suggestion would maybe be to find a local craftsperson who would be willing to build it at cost, or who would donate their time if the family could pay for the materials. Someone who knew what they were doing would probably only need to spend a few hours on it total.

What size vacuum cleaner do you have? Horsepower-wise.

Would you say the stencil is reusable if it's made of this material?

There's definitely an adjustment to be made. I just measured at my 12th fret and I've got about 1/4" clearance. I did just put on some flatwounds, which have a greater circumference, but I definitely have to do more work with my left hand when playing fretless. But I believe that's the case with any electric fretless, even the ones that come that way from the factory. I haven't adjusted my tension rod at all, though I probably need to.I'm not a luthier by any stretch, but I imagine if you adjust the saddle heights that will help. You might have to also adjust your pickup height, if you're lowering your strings. I wouldn't mess with the nut, unless it's extreme, but between the truss rod and the saddle height, you have a lot of flexibility.
