Slots are .023 to accept standard guitar fretwire tangs.These boards are approximately 1-1/2" wide and 3/8" " thick  and should fit most cigarbox guitar necks or just buy a board 1-1/2" wide which should be readily available almost anywhere. ,These  boards  have been      surfaced to 220 grit on the fretboard playing face . The bottom or glue up side is surfaced to 80 grit because that is optimal for a strong glue up to your neck blank you do not want adjoining glue surfaces to be shiny and smooth the glue adheres better to a slight scuffed surface.
    .if you wish too you could give it a light final sanding to the playing surface with a extra fine grit 400 or up to achieve butter smooth action and to make the natural luster in the wood pop and  highlight the natural beauty of the wood further but it isn't necessary.   This is a Great deal on some quality boards that can take your next build to another level .much better looking and sounding than cheap oak or poplar fretboards most builders use and aren't really suitable for instrument building. . Be aware every piece of wood has it's own unique figuring and grain pattern. No 2 pieces are identical . The board pictured is typical of the wood species listed but may not be the exact board you will recieve . This  is very good quality tonewood .
    The listing price is per board .
    as any professional instrument builder will tell you if you want to build a quality instrument that looks good plays well and sounds great you have to begin with quality tonewood.
