Thanks for compliments, y'all. But I should explain that it wasn't as tough a job as it might look. It's not really inlay work, but a veneer: made of a coated cellulose material, formed to the fingerboard contours with heat and pressure and bonded using a pressure-activated film adhesive. In other words, I printed it out on photo paper and attached it with double-sided tape (then photoshopped like a fiend to hide the seams.) All for the sake of April Foolery.  |

I also wasn't going to say anything to rain on your parade, but I was primarily thinking, "I wouldn't want to be the next guy who has to dress that FB!" ( I somehow had the idea that it was MOP, or similar...I hadn't thought about wood inlay)
