It is a process that Dan aka Floppyshoes (One of yer countrymen) and I came up with many years back, if you search Reaper restores and our two S/N's you will find an old thread about how we did them orginally..

I also show how to remove the inlays on my YouTube channel

Little has changed in the process, I would like to think I have improved on the execution hehehe

To answer your direct question, the old scales are torn down and I rebuild from scratch

here is a couple of pics from this teardown






Pro Tip:

See that stupid baord with the two pins in the second pic ??? that dumb jig REALLY helpes during the rebuild to line up the inlay and bolster transfers
