LP-1S "Poison Ivy"

[Joe Piler]

If you gave some Hide glue, you could thicken it slightly and squeeze some glue underneath there. Some might try tell you that if you do not do that the fretboard could warp there. Not sure they are right. I think you could leave it as is without concerns.

I'm not too worried like I said my js32tq has a gap there that's even bigger and the action on that guitar is absolutely drop dead amazing (low) especially considdering it's a budget range.

Hi Joe, I cant wait to see those vines on the neck finished. It's going to look awesome. Dingo-wax for the fretboard!!

cheers,

you're right i hate you
No but seriously idk the first thing about making custom inlays and i really don't want to ruin this fretboard! I'm definitely not a fan of the painted on dots.

What if i sand those off draw the ivy leaves on and then coat the fretboard in a clear rock hard lacquer?

get your jeweler in residence to carve them from some hard green plastic, then you can carve the shape into the fretboard with a Dremel tool. Provided the center of leaf is bigger than the existing dot there would be no filling. Of course I'm telling you how to do this with out ever having done it myself so feel free to tell me to shut up

So glad I live on the other side of the world out of punch range :P
