I sanded the radius into the fingerboard after gluing it to the neck and filling the gaps between the inlay and neck with epoxy and ebony dust. I still have to stain the board black and install the frets. The last two inlays didn't come out so great. Somehow they got sanded too thin and ended up cracking, the last one more so than the second to last one. I don't know how it happened, but the inlays I got from Stew Mac were on the thin side to begin with. Its not the end of the world and I can fill it with epoxy and dust, but it just really sucks that it happened and it won't be perfect. Right now its bugging me, but I'm not going to start over because of it. That just adds to the personality of it, and after all, it is a homemade guitar. I know right away that I will get attacked saying I should start over if its not perfect, and people will say that I did the same move on my first guitar. Unfortunately I do not have piles of money or free time to do that, and I am very proud of the work I've done thus far on this neck. This guitar is for me and me only, if it were for a customer (not that I'd ever be good enough to sell one) I obviously could never let that be on the guitar. Yeah it stinks that it isn't 100% flawless, but it won't effect how it plays, and I am far more concerned with how my guitars play than anything else.
