Amazing Fretboard Inlay Work

[Simon Barden]

The terms "Fletcher Handcrafted Guitars" and "CNC inlay" don't sit that well together with me!

Nice design though, even if it is partly ruined for me by having frets across it. I'd prefer that sort of design on the headstock where it can be seen in all its intact glory. Still, someone wanted it and will be very happy with it.

Haha I thought the same. Although I guess the handcrafted argument is a difficult one. As soon as you use routers and a drill press is it still handcrafted?

My view both with guitars and cars is that classic methods and modern methods both have their place and it doesn't take anything away from the person, the skills are simply in a different area.

I'm looking at putting together a small DIY CNC mainly because I want to do custom inlay work. But once you have the tool then the question becomes well why not use it for other things as well.
