Hello World! My first guitar project

For cutting out inlay you really want a jeweller's saw, which is a much finer version of a fret saw. It will allow you to cut out a lot more of the shape than a fret saw will, before turning to files and sanding. As the teeth are smaller as well, it's a bit kinder to thin fragile inlay material. Might need to be an internet order though.

Cheers for the advice. I've gone ahead and placed an order online from a local supplier for a jewelers saw and about 140 blades, because I know I'm gonna be breaking the hell out of those things.

Hopefully I'll get it by the weekend!

I just painted the back and sides of the body and somehow managed to get black paint on the front, ruining it again. I've chosen the worst possible product and application method.

But I wouldn't be me if I didn't
