what inlay to get for my guitar - help!

[rohlfo]

you have to look at them with an unbiased opinion - Feline's obv. looks loads better, what with the natural wood finish on the body and such!

btw, Feline, what pups are going in there? Since mine's going to be completely Walnut I'm thinking I might even get away with BD's...?

ahh the crowns are the trapezois thing :lol:

I was trying to figure WTF was crowns inlays :D

erm, my turn -what's IIRC? I'm guessing this guitar works best with RR's then!

Also, I should have said about the crowns, sorry! My mate was also rather confused since he thought (actual!) crowns would look wierd/arrogant/daft on an explorer!

If I recall correctly :)

In the gallery there is a picture of it with Mules with gold screws.

Looks killer

Well I've never seen a guitar with inlays anything like this, having it done on a Custom 8, the 12th fret is a little segment of a Nostradamus picture but I thought the sloped lines to the middle of the fretboard = pretty awesome too:



Have you done your inlays now though threadstarter?

wow, that looks wacky! should be awesome! Yes, due to time contraints and such I'm not doing anything too fancy and in terms of fingerboard have bought a 10-piece (24-frets) crown inlay set. They look amazing and are very figured which I think will look amazing against the ebony fingerboard and headstock veneer and walnut body  :D should arrive tomorrow, so I'll put 'em in then, can't wait!
