Glue the fretboard in place, clamp it down and let it set over night... It's very inportant to find a 4 year old child to check behind you to ensure everything is straight!!! Then you can counter sink the holes for the pearl inlays, glue the inlays in place and in-stall the fret wire. Be sure to pre-bend the wire before hammering it into place. If the wire is not bent first, the ends of the wire will pull out of the grooves on a radiused fretboard.
