What brand of neck is that? And what radius is it? I would LOVE a neck just like that for an upcoming project. From my experience putting block inlays in an already radiused neck is a lot of work.

I originally thought it would be a pain to get the blocks radiused, but then remembered I own a dremel kit and used the tool to sand down the edges. It was easy, you just have to take your time, and wood filler is your friend. 8)

The review on epinion for that Dremel attachment is shit. You should counter it with a better write-up. Did you think it crooked or sloppy? Maye the guy was used to bigger routers. He looks like a slob.

I hate to be the naysayer 'cause I think it looks cool and I've been thinking of trying that for years, but... I think they look a little squinty. Like they're a little irregular. The 3rd fret inlay looks kinda too small.

I had a set for an LP once and I thought it was a very odd progression of sizes.

NAY SAYER! :roll:

they aren't the same...They are for a les paul custom, I actually didn't use one of the blocks because it would of looked really off then...but not bad for what it is. My next attempt will be on my cheap-o acoustic and I think I'm gonna attempt to cut the pearl this time into some cool shape or summit.

The dude probably didn't know that you have to adjust one side and lock it once you set the depth, then lock down the other side by screwing it tight too. What a MORON! I think its awesome and stew mac has the same kinda one, but this was only $29 @ home depot. you can't beat that and the base is clear. Then if you wanna get crazy go to wal mart and get a $6 aqarium air pump and some tube and use it to blow away the shavings while you work.

I left my review. :lol:
