lucifersam Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 i have an idea for a nice vine inlay, but i dont feel like making a whole new neck for it or taking off frets of another one, so the only thing i can think of is buying a neck that is all set to go but just doesnt have frets so i can do the inlay and then put the frets on because im just that lazy if ne one could give me a hint to how i could go about doing this, i would greatly apreaciate it, if not just laugh at my laziness, either way will be fine Zak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AlexVDL Posted December 28, 2003 Report Share Posted December 28, 2003 I guess you should buy a new neck with frets, because non fretted necks usually are more expensive (don't ask me why, maybe because it is not standard). Then pull out the frets... cut your inlays, route the pattern on the board and glue it in. Fill any gaps with epoxy or some wood dust (in the same color) and a drop of superglue. Then sand smooth and do a new refret Simple enough? I'm too lazy to go further into details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Yes you can buy a blank fretboard that has been preslotted, do the inlays then fret it. You can buy them from rhoads56 on this board.just give him a PM and he can set you up. (hope you dont mind perry!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
