My Daughter HATES a guitar I made for her! Boring Dot inlays replaced WITHOUT removing the frets!

Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonC... and Ben's home workshop. In this digression episode, Ben decided that the original dot inlays in Jasmine's guitars fretboard were too boring and weren't in keeping with the new weight relief Hex holes. Also, he has been asked this question many times (3) in the past - 'Can you replace fretboard inlays WITHOUT having to remove and replace the frets?' The answer is Yes, yes you can. Ben replaces the boring dot inlays with silver and Abalone Hex shapes and creates a bit of a flourish at the 12th fret as well.
