    I don't think the guy from Vietnam is as good, but I have not purched from there  just going by his macro photos..

    There is a guy sells inlaid fretboards on e-bay like this - and other bits too.

    Yeah, you cut the slots to put frets on it, carefully, going right thru the inlay and everything.

    He also sells them ready-cut or ready-fretted, but gives no indication of the scale length he frets them for !

    I used one a couple of years ago - not quite as richly ornate as the one you have shown - to change the fretboard on a cheap mandolin from flat to curved. It looked pretty nice and played better too.

    Just be careful - it would be a shame to spoil it.
