jeltoulo Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 does anyone know how to install LED into the neck without removing the fretboard? i have thought of an idea that use very tiny wire like the size of hair and carefully hide it inside the fretboad surface to built the circuit,and SMD leds will be use instead...what do u guys think about this idea?feasible or not?

Nalo1022 Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Defintely not feasible if its on the surface thene ventually the board will get worn down to the ire and thin wire like that will get destroyed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzocchi705 Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Dont try it, my mate killed a neck atemping to do it. I'll get you the pictures if you want to see, as an example of why its a not so good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey69962000 Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Will be a pain, but the only way t get quality is put led's were you want them in to board, draw and route out the fret board for a long... i mean long inlay. have the wires go under the inlay.to hide the electronics box, design a batterbox at the end on the neck where it meets the body. Thats probably the simpliest way i can think of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 I don't imagine any solutions will give you the satisfactory results that removing the fretboard would give you. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moreau Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 there is a product, which i cannot remmeber the link to. but it was posted in the forum. it simply sticks onto your board. and best of all it can be reused on any guitar or bass.

monkey69962000 Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 i remeber that too. It looks bad in my standards becuase it a long stipe with rectangle lights, and the on/off is a box that sticks of your head stock. Eugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeltoulo Posted April 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 ...um...seems that it is not going to work..but anyway, are there any good methods for attaching the fretboard on the neck?i followed the method on the tutotorial section in projectguitar.com, using c-clamps,but the binding is uneven...and i get string buzz after the re-attachment of the fretboard....
