Inlaying Pearl along the edges of a Bound Fretbrd

[BlindBo]

John Hall has dropped a video to his YouTube site showing how to inlay pearl along the edges of a bound, fretboard. It is such an incredible addition to the appearance that I wanted to try it. After a couple of so-so attempts, I asked John for advice. In typical John mode, he explained the process to me and said, oh hell, I’ll make a video about it in the morning. Sure enough, it’s there today.
Following his instructions, it took me about 15 minutes to get my table saw dialed in exactly where I wanted it and about 10 minutes to cut the board. You can do it faster with experience, but, this was my first attempt and I kept stopping to check the fit. I can’t believe how easy this was and how perfectly it turned out compared to my previous hare brained attempts. I can’t recommend this any stronger if you want to add a little extra glamour to your fretboard/neck. Thanks to John for always wanting to “pay it forward” (and don’t forget Glen).😂
