As I dont like my Pau ferro fingerboard, I inlaid some quilted maple, that will be dyed black as the headstock is. The other parts will be inlaid too (fully)
I'll get my inlays tomorrow at the post office![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
The whole fretboard will be ebony bound and varnished

Re: The second one on the way!
Xavier, Your design skills as well as your eye for colour, shape and wood patterns are out of this world.
I believe fully that you would go very far designing and making your own line just like the great designers before you did.
Like the saying goes: Make a better mouse trap and people will beat a path to your door.
Cant wait to hear this one, and see the beginnings of the next one.

Thanks Bent
I dont trust in my designer's skill... Just inspired from existing models, unable to create from scratch
My next project, if it is a lap steel (might be a guitar like a Rickenbacker 330) will be inspired from the 6 strings fender studio deluxe, with feet. I have to solve the headstock problem ...
