I've been playing Vampire Bloodlines: Masquerade and ever since I saw this Ankh I've always wanted to get it inlayed in the middle of the FB on a custom guitar.

Show yours and explain it.

I think it would be a hoot to have an ejaculating penis as an inlay.

...or maybe just stupid.

How about "INLAY" inlaid at like, the 14th fret?

Or one of those full-length inlays that says "F R E T B O A R D".

Nah. Blank is better.

Thats one thing I REALLY wanna make sure 100% I get right when I make my custom.. and its the biggest thing I gotta think about before I get my neckthru blank made..

I was going to do the design on my display pic to the left <<< Blue stained MOP with Orange stained MOP in the middle on maple fretboard.. But now i might redesign it.. My friend is a great artist so shes gonna help me come up with something

Uh... i don't think you can stain mother-of-pearl. The coloured inlays you see are mother-of-toilet-seat. Yes, they're plastic.

Only abalone comes in a few tints of blue, red or green, but they're not uniformly one colour.

I've heard otherwise from inlay people at Projectguitar.. People there also suggested a price for them to do it for me

If I cant do that, Theres some really nice Recon stone..

I would either have a person taking a dump into a toilet. the toilet would be from like frets 20-24. or "TITS" the word. or actual Tits from about 14-10 and the cleavage could be fret 12

The center part of this, with a circle surrounding it:

It's a Buddhist symbol--Buddha's eyes which are to remind us to be compassionate to all creatures and vigilant in staying on the dharma path.

I would also like to add that i've always loved the oval inlays on the older S 540s from the early to mid 90s, those are my favorite inlays. :agreed:
