I've used orange on my previous builds, trying a black candy on the current one
Thanks for the link Sansan, I was thinking of buying a bulk lot of the PIO caps from Ukraine / Russia, most I found were silver ones, I will order these ones from this link first and see how they sound. Thankyou:)Quote:

And it leaked on top of my newly stained body, so now I have nice raindrop effects happening. My fault for not getting a sealer coat on quick enough, so looks like more gentle sanding and staining!
On a positive note I received the Gold MOP that I ordered and thankfully they are a little larger than the original crooked MOTS inlays, so shouldn't have to fill too much. Also have finished sanding the contour in the heal and received some Buffalo Horn blanks to make some nuts with, hopefully I'll have enough to make 8 nuts so plenty for some other builds in progress.
Now the fun part of pulling off the frets and cutting in the inlays. :)
hey Euroa spewing the body was leaked on. The gold MOP inlays look unreal and the buffalo horn nuts looks great too (that could be taken the wrong way haha)
What is the plan of attack the remove the existing fret inlays ?
DB posted a good tip couple of days ago before you remove the frets wind the truss rod to give the neck some back bow and there should be less tear out.
My fault with the body Ive seen guys install carpeted shelving for there work in progress, so might have to do that!Quote:

As far as the inlays are concerned, I'll try drilling out near the corners, apply some heat to break the glue bond and then see how they pop out :eek:. not too worried as the new ones are a fair bit bigger... the photos don't really do them justice as there is a myriad of color in them, I'll try different light and repost so you guys can see them better.
if you have a set of dental or mechanics picks I found they are good for pulling the inlays up once you had hole through themAttachment 12926
Phwoar...gotta love those gold MOP inlays:cool:
Might have to try and find a set although they do look a bit sinister lolQuote:
