Pinch Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) I think it's something in between MOP and pearloid. I think I read that somewhere. I think pearloid is the super cheap plastic imitation. I could be wrong. That was for production models tho, I dunno about CS.

Isn't MOP just the inside of sea shells? There are tons of oyster shells around where I live since the Atlantic Ocean is about 3/4 of a mile from my  house. People have lots of them in their yard around their shrubs. Edited August 22, 2023 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but its easier to order a pallet load of plastic than to employ beachcombers. Could be an earner to an enterprising fellow near the coast? Otherwise it pay big money to the pros https://www.originalmarquetry.co.uk/product-category/mother-of-pearl/  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvi Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 mop, abalone and other "shells " feel cold to the touch, mots does not, (not sure about the logo area due to finish.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you are right I guess it must be "acrylic pearloid" just like the inlays and not real MOP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 The specs Gibson quotes for the oldest online legacy archive models (2015) are MOP peghead - typically Crown & Gibson logo. Fingerboard inlays are Pearloid for this ES-390 http://legacy.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/2015/Memphis/ES-390.aspx This may be the case for the Memphis models (ES at that time). My oldest Gibson, a 1998 LP DC Standard is the same. There's a visible difference.  The 2015 solid body Nashville models are different. My 2015 LP Less Plus has MOP fingerboard inlays. But what is completely weird is that the 2015 LP Studio has a Silkscreened peghead logo, but MOP fingerboard inlays. The pearloid inlays dont seem to be iridescent. They have no 'moving colour'. The MOP ones certainly do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Silver Mica, I think your LPs look to be all MOP. The 335 dots? probably Pearloid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinch Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 As I remember it, they take MOP and do something with it. Google it if you're curious, I can't remember exactly how it went. I don't think it's regular pearloid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
