Replacing A Fretboard: It’s Not As Painful As Removing A Tattoo!
posted by Steve | June 23rd, 2009
Thinking of tattooing the name of that special someone on your arm? You might try inlaying a fretboard instead. At least it won’t hurt when it’s time to move on.
The owner of this bass had the Guild custom shop inlay his wife’s name on the fretboard several years ago. And they did a great job. The bass sounds terrific. The only problem is that they are no longer married. It seemed like time to move on, so in a relatively pain-free procedure, we replaced the fretboard and inlaid some slightly less specific fretboard markers.
