[Noddy13]

My school has on of those fancy pants CAD CAM machines, and im trying to think of a really cool inlay to put on my fretboard, so please post something to get my brain going!

I've done a search on inlay pics but didnt come up with much so please forgive me if theres loads of posts on this already

Cheers Noddy

that out line, done twice at the 12th fret with their faces pointing out and 12 in the middle

< 12 > like that

or, a musical scale down the whole board and notes on 3,5,7,etc.

I'll think about that one with the < 12 > looks cool, but i was thinking of something more all the way up the fretboard like the vine of life but kind of ... nothing like that lol to flowery for me.

What about a thorn vine going along the FB, thats more metal for ya! Ive always wanted a black rose with one thorn of the stem dripping blood.

[Noddy13]

Thats sounds pretty cool, il prob alter some of the vive of life templates see what it looks like. I thort of putting a rose with the stem pointing to the headstock but having it flamed maple on an ebony fretboard or maybe the other way round. hmmmm...

if you could stretch out some flames to go the whole fretboard that mite be cool, the vine of death mwahaha

Here's a concept I've always wanted to mess with:

Carve the text from the Ring from The Lord of the Rings through an ebony fretboard, and then fill the gap with clear epoxy, and then knock back the epoxy to a matte finish. Then, make a neck that has amber LEDs running underneath the inlay, causing the text to glow orange from inside the neck! Mwahahaha!

You could even set up a circuit that causes the LEDs to change brightness with the output of the guitar, so it flickered as you played.
