New Inlays.....

[some_dude]

Here's the inlays JohnJohn installed yesterday.

The new inlay both really blends in and really stands out as nothing looks abnormal, yet the shinny metal inlays really draw your attention towards the guitar's neck. I'm really happy with the work and workmanship.

That looks really cool. I think I may hit you up when finally I get my aluminum Tele body and buy a neck for it. An industrial Tele?

Re: New Inlays.....

Flat black single hum with screwhead inlays,very industrial looking.Getting those screws for the pickgaurd will really round it out.

The white pickguard is looking kinda out of place now, so I'm going to wait until I get a brushed metal pickguard before I drill and tap for those screws.

For those who're wondering, you can see the first two screws I installed holding on the jackplate.

The one in the 7th fret needs a slight clockwise turn....or it might just be the angle of the picture.

Looks good Bro....definitely different kinda Trussart vibe! ScreamingDaisy, how 'bout a diamondplate pickguard with the same screws to hold it in?

No, it's slightly off, but it's a case of the camara making something look 10lbs heavier than it is in real life.

Besides, if the were perfectly aligned it would kill the mojo....this is not meant to be a perfect guitar.

I'm looking at getting a flat piece of bushed metal. I'm just trying to decide if I want something along the lines of stainless/aluminum, or something that'll naturally oxidize over time (and hopefully it'll rust more where I rub against it).

I hear ya'.....I wonder if there's a way to rub it down with say, muriatic acid to etch it up a bit & then naturally age with sweat.

Looks cool.......I dig the eye bolt strap "locks"!!!! :beerchug:
