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:
They are awesome

In order of preference:

no inlays
double offset dots on 12th fret only
Ibanez mirror sharkfins

I always thought it would be funny to have tons of inlays that looked liked frets, so at a distance it looked like you had 100s of frets. Might be hard to play, though.

This is a trick question, everybody knows blank fretboards are where it's at.

If all inlay options were free, regardless of how elaborate they were... I'd still choose a blank board!

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

Hey Nick I sent you a PM the other day did you get it?

basically I would get this:

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.


Would that include the cup stain? :lol:

I would do a tribute guitar to Jason Becker ( 7 string ). Which by the way have you guys heard that Peavey is going to make the "numbered Jason Becker model"? Apparently Jackson was dragging there feet for some reason.

If it were free I'd exploit the hell out of that fact, never touch the guitar just have it as a display piece.

I'd have the Ralph Steadman cover to Hunter S. Thompson's "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" done...Fret 1-2 would be Raoul Duke and his Lawyer in the car, then the rest of the fretboard would be the road and the Las Vegas Skyline...all in perspective ofcourse.

[EDIT] With bats on the 3, 5, 7, 9, two bats on the 12 and so on....
