Artie Owl Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Ok, you can post your favourites or least favourites in fret inlays. Ok, my top pic is going to be a shocker, the sg acrylic trapezoid mother of pearl inlay; I also really like the PRS bird inlay; But I really don't find the bodies of PRS guitars all that attractive. I'd have to say my least favourite is actually the standard dot inlay, I guess it doesn't appeal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbabig Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I dig the lightning on Angus' signature guitar. and I know what you mean about the dot inlays, Ive considered tracking down someone and putting cooler inlays in the the neck, wouldnt be much of a problem if the new inlays just go as deep and the old ones and run through them so you wont notice it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L5Larry Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Here's a composite photo I put together of a few different inlays. I guess my favorite would be the "split parallelagram". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artie Owl Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 I've never seen the parallel ones before, that's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pohatu771 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I'm a fan of black blocks on maple fretboards, though I wouldn't want them on every guitar. Mini-blocks or parallelograms are quite nice, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heymisterk Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I am not picky: inlays add cost with no real benefit to performance that I am aware of. But... I don't like how Gibson has gone to acrylic instead of real Mother-of-Pearl. Others have as well. May favorite are the real MOP "Victory" inlays that Hamer does...
