brundaddy Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I can't stand inlays that aren't at the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, etc... To me a tremendous part of the mystique of Gibsons is that they have beautiful, fancy pearl inlay. Now if there were fangs at the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, etc... I might like it!

DrJustice Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Love the style of the claw inlays (I imagine they're claws gripping around the fretboard, not fangs... but that's just my imagination). I'm also with you on having them at all the traditional locations. However, that is because at my level of fretboard familiarity I need them. If I were a fretboard wizard, I might be happy with inlays at just the 5th and 12th frets. What should I vote then? DJ -- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pohatu771 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I think I'd prefer something like fangs at the normal places, or even Rickenbacker-style "shark fins." They'd be tiger stripes, of course. That's solely for looks. 5 and 12 is enough for me when playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobTheDog Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 A yes for me. The other fret positions are marked on the top of the neck, have a look at: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MojoRedFoot Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I actually like The Dusk Tiger. Goofy name but I like the guitar. The only thing I would have done differently was make it a carved top. I'm not really a fan of flat top Les Pauls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorbonkers Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I actually like The Dusk Tiger. Goofy name but I like the guitar. The only thing I would have done differently was make it a carved top. I'm not really a fan of flat top Les Pauls. I would have like either the dual parallelograms of the 295 or more of the fangs on the guitar. Carved top would have been sweet, but I imagine the metal work would have been much more challenging. I would have liked EQ's on all 3 pickups too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Sanita Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I like dot inlay as I'm old and when things start happening at 170 beats a min I don't get lost But thats why they are there I some times get confused on Block inlays but I have also played nothing but 62 Les Paul Jr's Most of My Life its really up to the player to pick ther preference as were all differint its all good and Gibson has been a part of my life since I first picked up a Six String and said turn it up and let's Rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
