Hello again! I am working on #2. I decided to add an inlay to the headstock. I bought a nice simple inlay that is multiple pieces. It came glued to a piece of cardboard. I assume I need to cut around the inlay leaving the cardboard on it to hold it together. (yes?) But I also think it is face up on the cardboard (its symetrical..so it probably doesn't matter). How would you guys suggest I go forward with the inlay. I have done fingerboard inlays that were all one piece, so I have the basic process down...but I am not sure what to do with this one. Thanks for any help! Joe |

Will the inlay seperate? I don't think they are glued together. So the plan would be to trim the inlay on the cardboard to use as a template. Route my cavity. Soak the inlay to loosen the cardboard. Then either add glue and then place in the inlay...or lay the inlay in the correct spot and add CA....yes? |
