alloyguitar Posted November 17, 2003 Report Posted November 17, 2003 I designed this while sitting in my english class today. It's really complicated, but i think i could do it. Go here to check it out: http://www.angelfire.com/music5/guitarbuilder/ It's under the fretboards section I would really like to hear your input thanks Devon Quote

Setch Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 That will be a tough first inlay, but it will look like crap if you try to do it on maple. Your first attempts should be on ebony, since this is the most forgiving inlay wood. If you end up with imperfect inlay cavities you can simply use black stained CA or epoxy to fill the gaps and get a good result. Maple is impossible to fill invisibly, so even tiny errors look like crap. Also, when you level the inlay you will rub the dust from your inlay into the grain of your maple board, which will make it look dirty. Basically, forget maple until you've got a whole shedload of experience. And then forget it then too, unless you have a highly developed degree of self loathing and a desire to make yourself unhappy.

daveq Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 Well, I put my thoughts in the post that is in the Inlay/Finishing section. I don't know why this has been posted twice? To sum them up, I say go for it but not with maple. Save maple for after many years of experience. More comments in the post that is in the Inlay/Finishing area. Quote
Jon Bell Posted November 18, 2003 Report Posted November 18, 2003 Looks good, would be tricky though. Quote
