misereatur Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Hi there! I just registered on this forum, and here's my contribution. This all started last year, when I bought a squier strat along with an original fender case. I was looking for a cheap guitar just to try to make it sound good, and this one seemed a good choice, also because of the hardcase, which was amazing, and all of this for just 125 euros... it's ridiculous! Enough about that, I thought it would be a cool idea to make star inlays on the fretboard, and it turned out great! Check it out on my website: http://clientes.netvisao.pt/sufferer/ keep the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southpa Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Welcome to the board! VERY NICE work! I tried cutting 5-pointed stars the olde fashioned way, w/ a jeweller's saw, and none came out looking like yours. I still need lots of practice. Looking forward to seeing more of your work in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbkim Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Hallo, es sieht sehr gut aus,du hättest ein bisschen Arbeit sparen konnen,die Sterne gibt es fertig bei www.warmoth.com Isn't .pt Portugal? Maybe misereatur speaks German too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misereatur Posted May 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 LOL! No, german isn't the official language here in portugal... First of all, imunwell2: The engraver is a Gravograph IS400, you can check their website, which must me something like www.gravograph.com, but I don't think you're willing to buy this machine just to make inlays, this particular one cost me about €15000 (about the same in dollars) 2 years ago. wyldbil: I would gladly do it cheap, but that would mean you'd have to send the neck over to portugal, and I don't really think that's such a great idea. I could, however, make the inlays and mail them to you... but then you'd have to make the holes... www: I don't really know the year of manufacture, but I think it might be 2001/2002, and I also love the big headstock, it looks really cool! I'm even thinking about making some inlay work on it, any sugestions, just let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bow Posted May 1, 2004 Report Share Posted May 1, 2004 Fine work indeed! I stumbled onto this forum while looking to do Start inlays on a neck.. I want to make a Sambora clone of his single humbucker reverse headstock Fender with the Black hardware and floyd rose. That is outstanding! Great job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
