CNC Inlay and Face Plates with Inlay Pockets

Asher Guitars offers logo inlay and face plates with inlay pockets for luthiers and guitar builders! The inlays and pockets are milled with precision on the Asher CNC machine. We use only the highest quality mother of pearl and abalone, measuring .060 in thickness. Also, the face plates, which we cut and sand to 3.5" x 7.5" can accommodate a wide range of headstocks. The process to get started is fairly simple. You send us your logo or artwork in jpeg or vector form (we even will take a photo), and it will be converted into a CAD drawing. From there, we will make the tool pathing for the artwork. We use a very small .025 bit, so any detail smaller than that will be lost. We can adjust the artwork if needed to accommodate the minimum cut area.
