messed up inlays..

Hi Gents,
What is involved in removing the fretboard from the neck?

Hi Neil,
big job you have to get a steam iron and heat up the fingerboard and try and lift the fingerboard from one end with a paint scraper of something to wedge in the gap and slowly separate the glue.
Which neck is this the maple PRS one with inlays ?

Have a search on youtube and search for how to remove fingerboard from neck or something similar

Yes. I hate the inlays, have been considering my options to make something from. Because I really like the res of the neck.

Neil why don't you try and see if you can remove the inlays ? Otherwise I would consider PRS sticker markers might be an easier fix

Yes, my first option will be to route them out, I have purchased new ones to put in.
Since the hole will be too big, I am debating filling around them with red abs or maple chips. I'll see how I go.

I need to build a router base for my rotary tool first. 😀

no, damn it, I am not scared of a challenge.

I am going to remove the current Maple Fretboard and replace it with a Hornbeam one.
in doing so change it from and F type nut to a G type nut. and insert the new inlays.

Just thought you might like to know :P ...

this is going to take me some time, but that is fine.

good luck Neil,sure you will learn new skills taking on the challenge

thanks, and yes that is the idea..

haha, good man, go hard
