Hey everyone, I recently shot a video of an inlay demonstration for the customer of the guitar I was working on. I thought others might enjoy seeing it as well. Actually time to do the inlay took a little under 1 hour. Josh |

Josh, thanks for the demo! Is that your guitar playing as the background music? |

And that's how it's done. Nice job. What is the fretboard made of? I like it. |

Josh, Nice job! I like the maple leafs. Are they made in shop or do you have a supplier? May your sails be full & your glass never be empty! |

Background music is by Kenn Fox, playing one of my GA guitars. Fretboard is Macassar ebony. In this case I just used a very fine pencil to trace the outline. It works well as long as you don't accidentally rub the pencil mark off. I will occasionally use an x-acto knife and then fill the scribe line with chalk. Mark Kett (pearlinlays.com) recommended the fine pencil to me when I was jus starting out as a builder. He said that if you trace around the part closely and then rout the pencil mark away you end up with a pocket that is just about the perfect size. I'm not a great inlay artist like Mark, but the pencil seams to work well. The pattern was bought from Andy Depaule. The time savings in purchasing the pre-cut design was well worth a few extra $. Bellow is the finished guitar. |
