Yeah its the fret markers, not 100% happy with them or the fit, but a bit of playing should get them about right and once the frets go on it should pull the eye away from some slight inconsistencies. the tough bit is going to be getting the radius right with these on.

So I'm quite pleased with how this is turning out.
It's not ferpect, but as this is the first time working with MOP I'm okay with it.
Next time I spend some more time on inlay routing guides and templates. Not to mention depth control.

God (Or your chosen Deity) bless the power tool, and all it helps us to accomplish!
I would never dream of attempting something like this!
1st build - Blue ES-12G ->-Build Diary-<-
2nd build - Father/Son collaboration MB-1 ->-Build Diary-<-
3rd build - GR-SF1 ->-Build Diary-<-
4th build - FS-1 ->-Build Diary-<-
The attempting is the easy bit, the doing is a bit harder, the doing well is the really tricky bit.
I’m good at the first two, still chipping away at the third one

So we are slowly getting there on this build. The "ENEMY" part of the decal will go on the scratch plate, and a smaller Target logo will go on the headstock face. I'm going to chuck the FrankenWashie Guitar Labs branding on the back of the stock.
So when we're done with that, we shall get into the fretting and do some set up and rewiring.

Love your work Frankie, your a rebel without a pause I'm sure your axe will certainly bring the noise was doing the inlays harder than you think? Alright I'm gonna shut 'em down now.
I hear they're touring in march.
Fret board has a real 'Tron' feel to it. Neat work on the body.

That's some great pun work, but don't believe the hype, I think it's Prophets of Rage, not Sure there are any PE side gigs.

Mate, Robin does it with hand tools, persistence and a sense of adventure, I’ve just followed his lead.
If you’ve a good bench plane, a straight edge, some clamps and a router it’s not a drama, it’s just planning and prep.
