Anyone do block inlays here?

Painting? Routing? Set-up tips? Or just straight-up making a guitar from scratch? Post here, and post pics!

flawless first reply. :D

Have you got a neck you want done already? If not it might be easier to buy one, it seems like a fiddly job.

Nah I'm getting it made so if someone can do it I can tell him not add the fret wire if it makes it easier.

maybe ask in the pub, but probably comes down to headstock stickers in the end.
Yeah, I thought that he did nice work with the blocks, but he's a cunt for rebranding Squiers with "Fender" stickers as passing them off as such. :evil:

paul1k was a riot! I remember him complaining about how his process fucked up his hands and he had to wear gloves and that it made it hard to eat a sandwich or something like that.

Cowbell was going to try on my neck but said it was pretty hard to not fuck up the maple. I had a local guy do it, he fucked it up, so Rhoney did one for me. The best bet is to get a musikraft b&b neck right off the bat (danocaster does that), for the price you really can't beat it...
