Twin neck guitar inlay.wmv

Doug Wilkes can be seen here working on the neck inlay on a custom 'Rex Bogue Double Rainbow' twin neck commission.

Doug initially made a drawing of the design on tracing paper in a tree style that would be similar to Rexs original, although Dougs design is all his own work.

Next he cut the inlay pieces by hand and now can be seen carefully filing all the pieces by hand to give them the desired shape and feel. After the shape is achieved, Doug carefully sticks each piece to the neck with kiddy glue so that he can then later cut the fret board allowing him to place the inlay.
