komodo Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) This will be the 12th fret (spans 6 frets) inlay on my personal build. I'll get a build thread up sometime in the near future. I might recut the wing as I don't like how the light is messing with the colors in it, I wanted it to be more gold. BTW-it's backwards, the other side still has the paper on it, and I still need to pierce the eye. Edited June 26, 2008 by komodo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Rainville Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) Very nice work, love it. I really should try to incorporate more inlay work like yours in my own guitars. Very cool dragon, good job! Edited June 26, 2008 by Joel Rainville Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan316 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 You're hired!!! Next guitar, I'm sending my neck to you, and you're gonna unleash some fury for me!!! Excellent work, excellent. Elaborate, detailed, yet elegant and classy. Not gawdy or complicated to the eyes, just enough going on to make it pop out at you and show off.

komodo Posted August 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 (edited) More progress on this one-I'll get the full build up as I mentioned, a bit farther down the road. I sucked up the front foot in the shopvac and never found it. I recut one and am not as happy with this one. Also some areas snapped as they were pressed in for gluing (not in the million times for fitting), probably because i wasn't using my fingers for fear of being superglued to the fingerboard forever. Still I'm happy overall. PS-OH . . .so my tip for anyone doing inlay . . .PUT IN A BRAND NEW BAG in your Shopvac before you start. Also, cover the end of the hose with a screen. Then when you still manage to suck up a piece, you can find it easy rather than sift through 3 gallons of dust from who knows what, dead mice, and all manner of nastiness . . . .and still not find the piece.

reantel Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Wow. That looks really good. I would have thought it was cut out my machine. Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
