NAMM Special – Airbrushed Fretboard Intense Inlay
Another new technique Mike developed just for Jackson to debut at the Winter 2011 NAMM Show. A new, unique and eye-catching fret board technique! The airbrush was laid down in the routed channel of this super high-end fretboard, finished and then the whole instrument was painted to match with seamless design. This piece got a lot of looks at the Jackson Custom Shop Booth!!
