I said the same on the other thread about the fretboards...

I too have ordered some of his stuff.. but because his fretboards suck, you have to radius it again properly (it isn't straight either) B)

His inlay material is like LGM said very very thin... some of his abalone is 1 or 2mm thick, but his MOP is thinner than a piece of paper... that's why I don't dare to radius the fretboard further... :D

In person the works don't look good.. he just uses big pieces of shell and scrape the lines in. That looks much less proffessional than using several different pieces.

IMO, don't buy the pre-inlaid fretboards!! Too much work to get them ok, and you risk sanding thru the inlays!!! His DIY inlays are great though.... so if you don't mind routing it yourself, try one of those and specifically ask for thick pieces!!!
