@rathius I was thinking like a tree, dragon etc. Could fill with resin, getting the hang of that now. The secret is a tiny amount of pigment, then you can get patterns in the resin instead of a solid ...

@nsj as for a full on fretboard, uhm you mean the dots or artwork, like a dragon, roses, etc? something I had considered was starting with 2 pieces of abalone shell as fretboard marker inlay. I have s...

@rathius A dark wood headstock plate is perfect for hiding everything though! Superglue and sawdust, brilliant on the likes of ebony or that. I can tell you now I'm not that good with the dremmel r...

@nsj That gives it more of a wood burning look doesn’t it. Not very deep at all just darken the logo. Cool, cool, cool. That would be an easy way of differentiating between say model A-1 and model A-...

@rathius I've got the neje 3 plus, have been thinking about doing a full on fretboard job but so far just use it for the headstock logo. I leave the power fairly low then just keep running the laser o...

@robin that’s exactly how I’m doing it. Using the engraver I run 3 passes at 80% power and 90% carving speed. I then took fine MOP pressed it in, lightly dusted around the area with a small art brush,...

@rathius Thats looking good. So how does this work. Are you engraving a recess and then filling with dust and glue.

Attachment : IMG_0832.jpeg Finally got a laser engraver. Took almost 2 1/2 years to arrive. Yeah, got lost in the pandemic, well the paperwork did. Kickstarter project, I paid for it about 3 years...

@genista Nice! I’m an electric guitar guy and have made quite a lot of them now. I hadn’t made a set neck guitar until I found Mark and did the online course. I learned so much from that and I’ve neve...

@boo thanks for the welcome Boo, great to hear there’s opportunities from different avenues so certainly gives me things to think about. I think ultimately I’d like to build my own acoustic but would ...
