Thanks Setch, Yes that padauk is really nice and the way that grain looks after it was sprayed was better than expected. Mike

I agree! -
You may have to cut the nut in half, or into pieces to get it out.then you can clean up the nut slot to be able to seat the new nut properly.. Goodluck Mike

What Inlays Look Good With A Maple Fretboard?
rsguitar replied to themetalhankey's topic in Solidbody Guitar and Bass Chat
here is one that I have done on maple with abalone. Mike -
As Mattia said, no. Jigsaws are way to violent! If you use a jig saw there won't be much of you or the MOP left so please step away from the saw!!!!!!!!!! Mike

to get past the routing problem you can put a scrap piece of wood in the neck pocket for the bearing to run on.... Is the piece of wood in the second picture what you might use for fingerboard. If so Ilove it.. Everthing else is looking great keep up the good work!!!!!!!! Mike

Here is kind of what I had in mind..... Only a little more amber in the center. Mike

Well it is really up tp you and what you like, and the tastes in inlay that you have...... I will add that you need to pick something that has a good amount of cantrast to you fretboard. That way it will stand out. Here are a couple of examplesthat I have made to show you what I mean.. Mike

very nice looking guitar, have you already glued on the headstock cap? If not you might think about putting a thin sycamore accent stripe under your walnut just to give it a little bit more contrast to really set it off........ Mike
