A peek at the fretboard inlays...

I've been working with a custom inlay shop that specializes in CNC of shell inlays, and we've come up with a really cool idea for the fretmarkers. Everyone who's seen it agrees it's uber cool and must be done, but I'm going to keep the complete design a surprise. For now, you'll have to settle for a teaser. So here to the left is the conceptual art for the first three fret inlays (at frets 3, 5, and 7). Trust me, the markers are at 9, 12, and 15 are even better! They will be mother of pearl, and are silhouettes of a greyhound running down the fretboard (for those watching that aren't local, the greyhound is the AHS school mascot).

For now I'm waiting on the CNC shop to finish the inlays and send them back, so there probably won't be many updates until then since I must have this finished before I can complete the neck.
