The Deluxester Prototype - Sonic's foray into repeatable scratch builds

[Sonic Mountain]

You can do it now, but it is a lot harder to sand them down without altering the fretboard profile slightly.

Just say "It was my intention all the way along to just have side markers", and you'll be fine.

Yeah I thought about doing that, I could scrap them flat with a blade, I've repaired big block inlays on an LP that way before, but I think I'll just leave it. This neck and therefore the guitar is so close, I just want to keep pushing on.

We'd totally believe you.

Yeah I could totally say I meant it that way, but it goes against my philosophy of sharing the boo boos as well as the successes. In this day and age its so common for anything posted online to be carefully crafted to be shown in the best possible light. This entire forum should be about encouraging everyone to have a go at these kinds of projects, the stuff ups are sometimes more informative than the successes.

I find often that the stuff ups of the original plan, and the recovery from said stuff up, work out better than the original plan. My build history is a litany of such instances.

Liking the feel of this one mate, will be good to see it over the line and punching hard at the speaker cone!
