I know what you are saying but when I think inlay I am thinking out side of the box, no pun intended. I was just looking at some of those dots from stewmac, the price is right thats for sure. And they would look nice. Hmmmmm.
Josh Gayou (SmokehouseGuitars) said:Get a brad point 1/4" drill bit and some MOP dots cut to the same diameter from a good luthier supplier. Easiest thing in the world.
Dave Breault said:I am toying with the idea of a radius fret board with bound edging. The inlay will have to wait, I don't trust my skill level there yet and I'd hate to f@#$% up a time intensive build because of crappy inlay job.
Josh Gayou (SmokehouseGuitars) said:1/4" will work for any build. For a pro grade neck, accurately thickness to 7 mm before gluing to the neck, then radius, inlay, slot, fret, etc, etc.
Don't get the ones from stewmac. They are overpriced. Go to eBay at this seller's store:

Much larger quantities at much better prices. I get all my inlay material from this person. Never had any problems.
