goth_fiend Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 i want to get a vine of life inlay done, but the general price for it is way out of my budget ($300+) so i was wondering if anybody makes any kits for the ibanez vine of life? i mean just the shells cut to the shape that i need, so all i have to do is route out my fretboard, glue em in and radius the board, thanks.

goth_fiend Posted December 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 (edited) im guessing that nobody knows , i guess im might have to try on my own, but the only tool i have for inlaying is my dremel, what else do i need? just read phil, i will do that!

goth_fiend Posted December 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 not a problem rhoads, im looking into all my options right now, but im pretty sure you will be hearing from me pretty soon. a local luthier quoted me at 395.00 for ablam and synthetic pearl rhoads quoted me for approx. 310.00 minus shipping jeremy's website says the same thing as rhoads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhoads56 Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 jeremy's website says the same thing as rhoads COPY CAT! Jeremy does a damn good job of vine inlays, and take note that my waiting list is at least a few months for inlay work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goth_fiend Posted December 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 LOL, well he does a killer job thats for sure! im assuming you go on a 50/50 payment setup right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlexVDL Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Find someone with a lasercutter... it can be cheap!! I mean DIRTCHEAP!! Hint: search ebay for people who offer precut inlays.. maybe they own a lasercutter Prices can be waaaay below 100 bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGM Guitars Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 the vine pieces themselves are not hard to do, it's the routing, gluing, levelling and polishing that takes the most time, buying the inlay pieces precut is not expensive, it's the labor in putting them in that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGM Guitars Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Try DePaule supply: vine inlay page. Craig Lavin is a featured artist in the gallery too. Craigs's work rocks! Wow, that must be brand new, I was just on that page a couple weeks ago and it wasn't there, for those prices, I won't be cutting my own shell vines for ibanez style ones anymore, you pay close to that for the shell blanks alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhoads56 Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 Careful Jeremy, someone will claim you dont make "real" guitars if you tell everyone your buying a set of cnc cut inlays.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGM Guitars Posted December 7, 2004 Report Share Posted December 7, 2004 LOL, that's ok, I use a router and bandsaw too, I guess I should still be knawing on the wood with my teeth huh? Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
