RaSTuS Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 The plain rectangular ones are usually just called "block" inlays to the best of my knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 I'm curious. Why is it that you don't like trapezoids on the fretboard? Do you feel this way about all Quadrilaterals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that your main option is the block inlays. They usually come on the Les Paul & SG CUSTOMS style. Check out the vinyl inlay transfers on Ebay. Roughly $10-$20. They should cover your Trapezoid inlays, and should you change your mind, you can always peel 'em off. They're fairly easy to put on and are quite durable. They're fairly smoothe and won't interfere with your playing. They're a cheap alternative to getting your fretboard re-done. Why not try the transfers first and see how it goes. There are heaps to chose from. If you don't like it you can always get a luthier to re-do your inlays later. Good luck Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaSTuS Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 A member had a story of his experience using stick ons, if they work this well for the vine inlays, I'm pretty sure they'll handle the block layout with no problems.
