JP6 dot inlays to shields & bullets

[vicsnake]

Hey forum, has anyone ever attempted to change the fretboard on a JP6 with dot inlays to the JP shield and bullets.

I have a mystic dream but really hate the dots (when I bought it I wasn't fully aware of this variation). Can Music Man do it in the factory?? Or am I royally screwed and stuck with these inlays??

Thanks for the info.

I'd venture to say you're stuck unless you replaced the neck. Too much work would be involved me thinks.

Not worth. Better find another one, IMO.

You are royally screwed. The easiest thing to do is to sell this JP and find another with the shields. Good luck, Vic.

Buy mine super cheap (see FS thread ). Swap the neck and re-sell!

Call customer service and ask them. I'm pretty sure that however a guitar left the factory is all they'll do with it but it never hurts to ask.

Another option is that there are good luthiers out there who can do custom inlays for you. Could be a great opportunity to do something really different and personal.

That's a really, really good idea. Remember how well this came out?

This luthier is the one to go to. He did an amazing job. Contact our forum brother, kestrou, for contact info.

Thank you.

I live in Mexico, so all those luthiers are not an option...

You could mail your neck to the USA. Or, there must a really good luthier in Mexico who's done custom inlay work.
