verhoevenc Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Voila, black and white/pale moon ebony. She'll also be getting some inlay... not sure what though, but I bet it'll involve bloody-basin jasper recon stone to match the guitar's top which will be dyed red.

Metalhead28 Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Ack! No way I would put an inlay on that board! Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verhoevenc Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I'm REALLY leaning to a pair of 3/32" blood red stone dots surrounded in thin sterling silver in the upper left hand side of the 12th fret... simple, unobtrusive, and useful. I did the same thing on a current build that has a snakewood fretboard, just with gold and paua and it looks quite classy. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJE-Guitars Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 ooh a black & white ebony fret board bragging thread. . . . Still waiting to be slotted for my 8 string build . .. Got about three or four 6 string blanks as well hanging around . . mind you it does help when I live in the country that virtually all B&W Ebony originates from! Oh as for inlays I am only putting side dots on it - I've put gold pearl dots on them before but really they don't need nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erikbojerik Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Pretty nice! That's a good idea for the inlay. But I am partial to Mexican cocobolo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJE-Guitars Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 figured Cocobolo very nice . . . very similar to Figured Siam Rosewood . . On the left . . rough sawn soon to be turned into a fretboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitars by Jake Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) I know ive posted it before, but with all of the black and white ebony floating around here, I just found it appropriate...... Also, I agree about no inlays, but..To each his own. Edited April 13, 2009 by Guitars by Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prostheta Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I felt really sad when those B+W Ebony boards weren't the right size for anything i'm working or planning on. I should have snagged them just to have them hanging around the house :-\ Too cool for school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
