So here's a small intermediate step.
to an old Johnson Baltimore Müllklampfe that somehow still standing around, I have the weekend (quite successfully in fact) made my first attempts at inlay work.
On my order with great StewMac I ordered it pre Diamonds.

The first thing I've sorted and labeled them so I know later how to be fitted.




then glued the squares with glue on the points in order to outline it. At the first session I had außreichend lighting, you should take care of but in any case, very good lighting. The time up front. And you better not make the outline with a scalpel, even if we think that so you can work very fine, because that is not really stiff enough.
come Then again, the inlays and the millings are made.
is first with a very fine mill (0.3 mm) milled with the chalk outline made visible, then removed the inner material. The most important thing here is patience, not to high speed and good preparatory work (glue / Outline).



Each individual is measured in thickness and adjust the drilling depth to it. It should MMN after gluing all look out rather a 1 / 10 mm, than to sink deep in the fretboard, as the need to grind behind everything again for the inlays to the fingerboard
are flush. Again and again you can interrupt the drilling-and look to be worn out already still has. The more one removes, the more visible to the bond is later.



Then I Pattex with stability, a 2-component adhesive (similar to super glue) to acrylic which cures harder than 2K epoxy adhesive, glued the inlays. The glue is brownish, which meets on a brown wooden handle a board.




At the first session I had glued the top 4 frets and the glue is mixed with Palisanderstaub, then the second a little black pigment added, in order to tint the adhesive further. Dear one or two shades darker than the fretboard, then you do not see the adhesive Sun In ebony no problem at Rosewood, however difficult.




connecting ground off and happy. Has become quite good. My Fräßskills I can definitely further expand, and this can already be seen.











I have to rest in a Korkklotz a radius sanding block self-made. First I have put 320s
sandpaper on the fretboard to first rude to come in the right direction. Then I got on the end of the fingerboard fixed carbon and thus block the job on the grinding marks, the rest. This then so far I have filed down and polished until the block rested evenly.

is now finished as far as the guitar made that they can be painted this week. Latest scores and errors were asgebessert, the guitar was sanded again, cleaned and treated with sealer so the paint does not pocketed into the pores as it dries. So later, a more level paint surface is achieved.

On the lower picture you can see the holes for the pots and pickup selector switch.

The selector switch has a very short stem, so here is yet another recess was made
The other two additional wells are possibly push / pull pots, which also have the actual speed control or a switch level to double spooler to split pickups and the sound only by a reel to take to get a different sound while still nor regulate the volume to.

In this picture you can see both the lower fat hole in e-trade to the pickups with volume and tone pots, as well as on the end of the jack, as even the small top hole, leading to a hole for the mounting of the bridge. Through this connection, the web, including the strings connected to ground to first optimum isolation from electrical interference from power supplies and fluorescent lights, etc. to achieve, and second to connect the guitar playing with the mass of the complete circuit (guitar-> amp-> FI-Schutzschalter/Hausstromkreis) order not to possibly faulty electrics as a sound reinforcement system to be bothered with a microphone 230.

Below you can see well to access the truss rod adjustment to the neck and, to counteract the string tension. This will later be provided with a cover.
