Inserts and Studs in place
Left the inserts on the freezer for around 10 hours or so and then started inserting them, the initial stage goes nice but the last part is the worse since you left a little section to hammer down, i used a piece off wood but it was to large and when i hit it also hit some times to body so it left so marks.
The last portion when it comes flush to the body is even more delicate work, so i tough need to cut the piece off wood to a better size but i did not realize but i could have done the hammering it down without having leaving any mark. I used a luthiers fretting hammer to hit the inserts but the hammer also comes with 2 extra heads one plastic and other with some metal. Using the extra plastic head proved very useful on making the studs go all the way in, just a bit bad i did not tough on that option first.

I have sanded the area where some marks where left and applied 1 coat off wudtone.
The inserts are really tight and digging in the wood, there’s no slack whats so ever.

In that guitar the size off the holes seems to large for the inserts.
