bungle Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 You need a dremel with a router attachment, and a jewellers saw to cut the Pearl or whatever your using to shape. Best to get a radius block aswell, sand the fretboard then mix the dust with epoxy to glue the bits in with, that'll match the colour, is it a rosewood fretboard?

bungle Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 You could probably get decals from somewhere, probably a better idea, less work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest davetherave Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) Letraset should do the job, simple to apply and easily removed when the band splits up http://www.letraset.com/products/90-Letraset-Transfers/ Apply a wee bit of clear varnish over the top to set the decals.
