Glued the white plastic dots with CA glue.


Then trimmed them flush with my flush cutters.


I also sanded the fretboard up to 600 grit and I couldn't resist but put some lemon oil so see how it would look like. I was very pleased with the result, BUT I later realised I had measured the 12th fret inlay wrong! It was slightly off-centre; about 1mm more to the bass side. I was pretty sad after I discovered it, but oh well! I could redo it but it's a lesson to learn!

MEASURE, MEASURE, CUT! The one time I didn't follow this rule I screwed up!

Anyway, here's an image of the inlay. I'm still deciding if I should put some 6mm abalone dots on the other fret positions. The figuring of the fretboard isn't breath-taking and the simplicity of a 12th fret inlay is nice, but then again I think the usual 6mm abalone dots will make it stunning too.
