Dana Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 I've been searching around for some options... i want to replace the cheapo fret dots on my strats rosewood fretboard with some wood inlay. Nothing super fancy but something stylized. I dont however want to go and refret the board. I'm wondering if the difficultly would be too high for a first attempt at inlay with an already finished neck. suggestions? examples? Thanks, -Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batfink Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 A git of a job and a chance of real disaster if you've never done any inlaying. Suggestion: Get some scrap and have a few attempts at trying to inlay what you want to do. As a rule inlaying into a built neck will almost always call for the frets to be pulled out so something else to consider if you've never done that before either.

I will hold off till i build a neck from scratch. Thanks for the advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
