hold the front page!......... beatnik has done something on the jet build
lol nothing major in terms of progress but its a start, finished my teaching placement last week back in uni now so still ridiculously busy but managed to squeeze some jet time in today,
Ive now got the fingerboard radiused to a point that im happy with it, its been holding me up (perfectionist ) and decided to get busy with the inlays, rather than go down the mother of pearl route i decided id use bone to match the nut (inspired by randy parsons) one thing i can tell you now is camel bone isnt too bad to work with but it really stinks when ur cutting and grinding it and i mean really stinks but im pretty pleased with how they came out
heres the customary pics, inlays arent in the fingerboard yet just placed on so u can get the idea
