    you send your neck to this guy and he will do it.
    as far as how he does it, its a "secret".

    I just saw your other post, so you already know of sims custom.
    I was reading around on the website and I think I read that he uses fiber optics.

    I think i know how he does it.. :)

    just peal off the fretboard, make 2 small gulls, and put some wires + leds in it.. then put the fretboard back on..

    I'm pretty sure he does custom leds. But I don't know if he'll change the inlays (ie blank fingerboard) It'll cost an arm and a leg though. Yeesh!

    I understand that Moses Graphite will introduce inexpensive lit inlay necks early next year.;)

    do the manufacturers who currently offer LED's from the factory (alembic, warwick, etc) just send them to sims to have it done, or do they just do it during manufacturing?
