Anyone do block inlays here?

Painting? Routing? Set-up tips? Or just straight-up making a guitar from scratch? Post here, and post pics!

I still don't get your joke. I thought it was a pretty simple question. I'm having a neck built but the builder can't do block inlays because he doesn't have the right tools. So I'm trying to find out if anybody around here could install the inlays for me...

Must have been before you joined? There was a whole host of blocks 'n' binding related madness but can only find THIS in the HoF.

Ah. Here I was looking for grammars in my post or something haha. Nah. Not before my time, just never saw that before or don't remember it. Pretty amusing.

maybe ask in the pub, but probably comes down to headstock stickers in the end.

Basically the guy doing B and B necks, putting the F decal on wasn't this issue... (Although we know legally it isn't right, but people mod their stuff blah blah blah.) It was trying to sell it on eBay as genuine that caused the big problem. That is the short version. Also after the ban, making new accounts to try to do the same old crap. Also going to other forums to do the same crap of passing stuff off as legit when it wasn't.

I remember a guy a few years back that had a squier jaguar neck on eBay that he modified with B and B but he said it was a squier and he was a pretty cool dude. I talked to him about it. Maybe this was a different guy. I'm not certain. It had a fender logo by the way.

Yeah, I thought that he did nice work with the blocks, but he's a cunt for rebranding Squiers with "Fender" stickers as passing them off as such. :evil:
