Hi guys, thank you for viewing.
I've just started building an unusual guitar. I hope you enjoy this thread. This time I made the fingerboard the first (which is really unusual.) (Procedure) 1.Prepared an Ebony fingerboard blank. 2.Cut the fret slots. 3.Cut where the decoration(inlay) will sit. 4.Glued the white veneer on the walls. 5.Preparing the inlay pieces. 6.Masking the fret slot before glueing the inlay pieces to keep the fret slots clean. 7.Glueing the inlay pieces. There's a thick MDF caul underneath the Ebony fingerboard to keep it perfectly flat. 8.Cut the taper. 9.Preparing and glueing the white veneer and black veneer on the side walls of the fingerboard. 10.Added some more bindings and purfling and done! (The same photos again.) Last edited by Ryo Kobayashi; 02-09-2017 at 12:56 AM. Reason: The photos are gone |

Very nice ! Unique Idea ! Not likely to see too many fret boards looking like this !

Thank you very much.
This fingerboard shows the main concept of this guitar. |

Thank you Ryan-San.
I wish I had a CNC, though. But this worked ok for a one-man small shop |

You should call it "The Unusual Suspect"

Haha. Instead of "Usual," right?
I'll try to build unusual suspect"s" going forward |

If the rest of the guitar is as interesting and as cool as the fretboard you are onto a guaranteed winner!!
