verhoevenc Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 You know it's gunna cost you a fortune to have ANYTHING put on a board by an inlay "God". Inlay is NOT cheap! And alot of the inlay guys won't build the neck I don't think. So you're gunna probably have to find two people to work with. Neck look to about $200? Then add the inlay from the inlay guy to that and think (from what I'm infering by "big ideas") $800. Thats a $1000 neck.... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whisky182 Posted September 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 ok, here's the situation, i've found myself a nice little fretboard with a sweet little inlay design on it, however; as i said, i can't make/ work with necks for toffee! would anyone be able to attach the fretbord to the neck & give it some frets for me? as i said before, for the right price ofcourse (preferably within the UK) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to check out the fretboard first, but I would certainly consider it. Where abouts in the UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whisky182 Posted September 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 here is the link for the fretboard i'd like to see on my jackson. if anyone thinks they could do it (preferably this side of the atlantic!) feel free to pm me many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batfink Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Have you actually brought that fretboard yet ? Sorry to say but there's been nothing good said here about the stuff from Taiwan, the shell tends to be so thin that people have lost portions of the designs just radiusing it - i'm sure the result most people have ended up with is chucking it. As Setch said, whereabouts are you - i'm South East and i'd have a look but the chances are i'd say no considering the experience of others....oh, and you don't even want to ask how much i'd charge to do something like that from scratch Jem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToneMonkey Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Hay Batfink - Just out of curiosity, howmuch would you charge for an unfretted, non radiussed fretboard (just slotted) with those killer Dangermouse inlays. THEY'RE THE NUTS!!!! Or even, just inlaying some dangermouses on a fretboard that I supply? Or even just some dangermouse inlays and I'll inlay them? I think that I have to have some of them for the next build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whisky182 Posted September 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 i'm from Oxford, i've not actually bought the board as such, but as soon as i can find someone who's willing to atleast look at it, i will. i'm buying it in from the US. any takers? fell free to PM me with location and a guestimate price range just to confirm, i dnt want anything from scratch, i have the current jackson neck and just want the old fretboard taken off, the new one put on, some fret lines cut and some new 1's put on so i can get it back from whoever can do the work, attach it to my guitar and start playing the same day!

whisky182 Posted September 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 then maybe its time to learn to inlay... i haven't got the time at the moment. i've just started a new course... i've barely got enough time for playing, let alone building Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
