I re-worked the neck and layed out the block MOP inlays. I found a good image of a Les Paul Custom (Ace Frehley Budikhan), and scaled the image behind my CAD file of the neck to trace the inlays. Then projected the rectangles to the top surface of the neck and extruded down 1/16", and swept the tops & bottoms closed. Then did Solid Difference to subtract them from the neck solid, but not delete them. It's fun to CAD. I've always enjoyed doing this.
