Inisheer Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 (edited) Hola. I've been thinking about getting this inlay/fingerboard combo for a jem style neck-Tree of Life Inlay The fingerboard is slotted for fret wire and is already cut to fit the inlay. And the inlay is also pre-cut. My question: is the inlay in separate pieces, or is it one large solid piece? If it is one piece will this fill the slots for the frets. I don't want to have to put in the inlays and then re-cut the slots. If anyone has used these items, I would be grateful for any comments. Thanks. Edited May 25, 2006 by shredgtrfan Quote
RGGR Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 Check this link..... http://www.jemsite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=45054 Seems to be nice quality. And to answer your question, for stem part of vine you might have to re-slot. No biggy I think. Quote
gun Posted May 25, 2006 Report Posted May 25, 2006 The inlay is made by several pieces. It's thick about 3 mm. I used it on my JEM project. Sorry I lost the pix so my tread doesn't show them anymore. BTW it's really close to the original. The stem is made from 2 pieces, then you have to cut it for fretting. Gian Quote
Inisheer Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Posted May 25, 2006 Thanks for the help guys. Looks like I'll have to buy the right saw to slot the frets, but hopefully I can still make it work. Quote
Inisheer Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Posted May 26, 2006 Sorry guys, but I have one more question. I was looking at that site again, and I thought that the fingerboards were pre-slotted. But it only says they are cut for the inlay. The picture shows that it is also slotted, but is it? Just double checking....I wanted it to be pre-slotted so I can see where to cut when I re-slot. This may be a dumb question after what I previously wrote, but is it cut for both the inlay and the slots? Sorry for adding this at the end....and thanks again. Quote
Mattia Posted May 26, 2006 Report Posted May 26, 2006 Dude, ASK THE SELLER. He'll be able to tell you. Quote
Inisheer Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Posted May 26, 2006 ^ Hehe...didn't think of that. Thanks for the tip. Quote
Mattia Posted May 26, 2006 Report Posted May 26, 2006 It's eBay, and also a test of communication, y'know. I like knowing people I buy form will respond within 36 hours, give or take. If it takes longer than 3 days, something's amiss. IMO. Quote
Inisheer Posted May 27, 2006 Author Report Posted May 27, 2006 ^ Really? Thanks, now I don't have to e-mail them to ask. Quote
