what inlay to get for my guitar - help!

[Lazy_McDoesnothing]

I always liked the disappearing pyramid inlays on the Ibanez JEM's and UV's.

Might look good on an explorer too.

Snowflakes?
Apparently no two are the same!

gwEm - you gone all Christmassy/wintery on us

[rohlfo]

they are more common than people think, I feel. It's one of the standard, alternative shapes for dots (if that makes any sense!) but I'm not feeling them in my dark, dirty, walnut explorer  :P I think I may have settled for the crown inlays....gibson style inlays for a gibson style guitar....blocks looked a little to edgy...

[WezV]

yeah, snowflakes are quite a traditional inlay really

blocks do work really well on explorers!

yes, i've really got into the christmas mood!

i was searching some inlay designs earlier this month, and saw the snow flakes so i thought i'd drop it in! :) of course not as serious suggestion for the explorer, but i do think they'd look nice on the right guitar - maybe a charvel star.

Not quite such a star shape snowflake

they much be a bitch to install too... but i think they'd look good on a extreme 'shape' guitar. perhaps one with a gothic matt black finish.

thats a damn fine guitar there feline.

[rohlfo]

nice look! I was convinced I'd want blocks, but then somehow went for crowns in the end. I have a pic of an exlorer with blocks, and one with crowns and was switching between them in a slide show for hours trying to choose!  :lol:

Show us the crowns!

[rohlfo]

The blocks do look cool - it was a close call. I think I just felt the crowns gave a slightly more old-school vintage look rather than a new metal look (over-exagerated to try and explain choice!)
