idrum4food Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 I have a simple maybe dumb question. The only inlays I've ever done are the dot kind but would like to try something a little more complicated this time. When you buy a set of precut inlay such as squares (les paul) are they already curved to follow the contuer of the fret board ar do you have to do this your self? Do you install the inlay before you shape the fret board? Does the inlay sand as quick as the wood? HELP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sscovill Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 From what I know...and I'm no expert, the inlay material you buy is flat. You inlay them into a radiused board leaving some of the inlay material stickin up above the board and then sand it down. I'm sure someone with much more knowledge than I have can chime in and go into more detail... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
