Sqeeky inlay:)

[lukather101]

Has anyone else got a dry sqeeky BFR Inlay ?
I find myself almost avoiding the 12th fret because of it , especially when I bend the string.

 

[spkirby]

No, but that is one good excuse for playing in some weird keys!

 

[jzeijen]

All the time! But why would you play beyond the 7th fret? Everyone knows that's extremely bad for the stability of your birdseye neck.

Good one Steve .
All jokes aside I've tried everything , I sounds bloody awful . It's worse than grating teeth

Good call but it's on my Tg Luke...

Maybe it needs some oil.

Turn up your amp.

 

[Spudmurphy]

Wow now that is a new one on me!!!
Would love to know how this one works out!

I have my thought and ideas on how to rectify this but that's all it would be just "thoughts and ideas".

Strings and things should be contacted.

Lmao !

If you boys could hear it you wouldn't be laughing

 

[BrickGlass]

I've never heard of that, ever. Let us know what you end up doing, now I'm curious.

I think you need to buy another BFR and let us know what that does. I mean, I do'nt think the inlay is the problem at all. I think you need to replace your finger.

I have never faced that problem with my 25th (all RW neck like your Luke) that being said I always treat the freatboard with those wonderwipes that provide this nice silky touch

Classic

Spoke to customer services and they said the inlay could possibly be unfinished . Definitely feels that way ..

Tried the wife's finger and it's exactly the same ...

You ended up marrying a woman with a squeaky finger too? Aw, isn't that nice!

Hahaha!!

But on a serious note, thought lukather101 was joking a bit, but it seems to be a real issue! Curious what the fix will be.

Quite right , it is impossible to bend a note on the inlay.

I'll keep you all up to date..

Did you treat the fretboard and leave some residual oil on the inlay?
