inlay day!

Another Sunday, another day working in the shop. I know its blasphemous but its Superbowl and we all would rather be here working then watching the game. Today I finished the last 4 necks and started the inlay work.

Some Mother of Pearl taped down ready to get cut on the CNC. This stuff murders bits... my day ran short because it fragged my last 2mm OD cutting bit.

Block inlays on my "GLT-P90" laid in.

The other Dave... working on his Firebird. Dave plays in Steve's band.

Steve and Danny hard at work sanding here. SO much sanding in guitar building...

Getting ready to work the MOP trap inlays down

Inlays worked flush to the board. This board is REALLY pretty, pictures don't do it justice.

Danny's 'bird with block inlays.

Back at work shaping in necks.

Over at the other side of the shop Steve and Dave are drop filling a couple spots with epoxy. This fretboard has a worm hole that showed up after cutting the radius. Luckily its after the 22nd fret so we just filled it with epoxy.

Steve back at work sanding down inlays with the radius block.

Danny... still sanding



The "GLT-P90" all done. First attempt at binding and it came out very nice!

Danny finally done sanding

We did a little work on Dave's Harmony Rocket today as well. Running it through its paces after stringing it back up.
