camcool Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 I am planning to do a waterfall inlay down part of a pau ferro fingerboard The 3D inlay technique sounds very interesting and I was wondering if I cut different depths into the wood at appropriate points will it enhance the 3D effect Instead of using the nylon sheet Brian used I'm using plastic and some mother of pearl for rocks and branches and stuff If I cut different depths into the wood at appropriate points will it enhance the 3D effect ggggggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitar_ed Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Hi, I have a question. And maybe I misunderstood the original post. If I did I apologize in advance. If I understood correctly, the idea is to cut into the finger board to different depths, so that the inlays are different depths below the level of the fingerboard. Is this correct? If so, then wouldn't the fingerboard be rough and uneven? I would think that this is a bad thing, not a good thing. Again, I apologize if I misunderstood. Guitar Ed Still looking for that essential clue in life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitar Ed Still looking for that essential clue in life. i think what he means is rout the cavities for the inlays at different depths so the clear material on top of it will be different distances from the actual "picture," giving it a wavy effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camcool Posted July 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 clear acrylic or some other see through material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey69962000 Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 acrylic but if you are looking for tone acrylic sucks. Plus the strings go sharp when you leave it next to the air conditioning because the acrylic shrinks and expands too from heat so i dont like it but thats what you need to use.

camcool Posted July 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 are there any other clear materials that would work tone wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey69962000 Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 well what pick gaurd. If its a strat and your going throught the wood it might mess the wood up in heat or coolness but if its not going throught the wood its fine. Actually forget what i said it shouldnt be a tone or and issue at all if your not building an intire acrlyic body. Forget what i said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
