Fretwork & Inlays
Fretwork & inlays have been completed. This guitar features natural Mother of Pearl inlays for the fret markers, along both the fretboard and the side of the neck. Our natural Mother of Pearl inlays have a beautiful sparkle in the light.
This particular rosewood fretboard is an exquisite example featuring deep purple hues and gorgeous grain structure. These natural colors tie in well with the Purple Heart wood used throughout the instrument.
The frets are all carefully installed, rounded, and polished by hand until smooth, shiny and comfortable. This is a time intensive step, but well worth the extra effort.
Fretwork & inlays are a critical step in quality instruments. This is a point where the player physically connects with the instrument and time must be taken here for outstanding results.
