Greetings!
Last time I talked my guitar build was a few months back. Ive been working on this project for about 15 months and can now see the final stretch. I hand cut some pearl inlays, and installed them on my fretboard. This being my first time, I could see a lot a visible mistakes. After I oiled the fretboard it hid all of these mistakes since it makes the fretboard much darker and WOW it looks nice. I also added cream binding to the side. The photos don't do it justice. I still need to fill in a few gaps between the fretboard and the inlays but oiling the board hides the imperfections really well. Now all thats left is to cut the neck, make the neck heel, and rout the rear cavities and stain the guitar!
