Guitar 906 – Fretboard and Headstock Inlay
December 3, 2009
Completed the fretboard and headstock channelling after receiving new end mills. The headstock work came out extremely well, and after losing a piece of shell for the fretboard (oh, it’s on the floor somewhere, but I need a better set of eyes to find it) I whipped up some black epoxy and koa dusted epoxy and inlaid the shell.
The fretboard looks gooey now, but aggressive sanding will result in a gap free surface.
The headstock inlay place well, and very minor gaps will hopefully be invisible. I used koa dusted epoxy, and although the headstock looks stained, it should sand out.

The head stock came out better then I imagined. Does the inlay make setting the frets more problematic? Looks great Stephen.
