That is some nice work. I just wish I had the talent to do inlay work like that. :)

I think it was Jeff that pointed it out in some other threads, there are some overseas (to us Mericans) shops that can do this rather affordably. A lot of work went into that one.

Makes you think about it!

Hey Al, speaking of fingerboards .... I bet you sell the "Little Fretty" don't you! Isn't that the wildest thing? A combination rubber guitar neck and sex toy. Except for Cliff, I bet most sales are to non-musicians. Dave

http://www.fretocizer.com/home.htm

Excepts from the "Little Fretty" website:

I swear to god, I cut and pasted this exactly -

Keep him in your glove box for the drive to practice, rehearsal or work.
Keep him next to your bed for those inspired musical night visions.
Pay extra attention to those 2nd and 4th fingers.
Practice your correct hand position.
Keep him rolled up for those emergency "bathroom moments".
Stick him in your coat pocket and pretend he's a gun to ward off a
mugger.
Pets love to get rubbed by him.
Use him as a CPR head rest in case your buddy drops.
Use him as a flag to wave down motorist in an roadside emergency.
Play hide and seek with him.
Use him as a dip stick to measure the water level.
Keep him handy for those blind dates "who may play guitar".
Bring him out at a party, he is a great conversation piece.

Is it my imaginiation, but doesn't Mr. Fretty look like Mr. Hankey. For the non-americans, Mr. Hankey is a, well, character from south park.

Just don't buy it for your wife. You may find yourself not needed any more.
