What inlay would you get on a 7 string if it was free?

Desecrated

I want Roman numerals ("numerical symbols such as II, III, IV, X, L etc.)

or Maybe my goat, but that would probably be to much and way to deathmetal.

I don't know what exactly, but if I could, I would get a gorgeous Ibanez 7 with the biggest, most vile, horrible-looking inlay I can find so the jemsiters can all simultaneously shit themselves while browsing the thread I start there :lol:

On a serious note, I'd either go with vine-inlays, or just a blank board. Both are equally sexy :yesway:

I like iron crosses.
Actually I'm getting iron cross inlays across frets 1-22 on my Ran.

I also like the biohazard sign. This one would look best on a nuclear yellow colored guitar I think.

Well since I was already posed with this question for my Thorn (not a seven but oh well), I chose to go with his signature Firesun Inlays (and no, that's not my guitar... mine is still in progress):

I opted for my own personal touch on the neck heel though, which will have my signature inlaid in paua abalone like the following:

I had a TRC custom made by Bill Nichols (another awesome inlay artist, only second to Ron IMHO!) so this shows what my neck heel will look like upon completion:

If I were to go for a REALLY custom inlay Ron did a Solar System on a fretboard that was probably one of the most amazing jobs I've ever seen:

Did I mention that I REALLY like inlay work? :lol:

But for free..."SUFFER-NO-GUILT-WHO-WEILD-THIS-IN-THE-NAME-OF-CROM" Just like on Conan's father's sword. Same font.

Ron = THE best inlay artist ever. Well I should clarify, Ron AND his father are the best inlay artists ever. They both do the inlay, and considering how big they both are I am stunned every time at how tiny the inlay pieces can be and they are able to execute them flawlessly! That solar system is one of my faves though.... the attention to detail is so kickass! Each piece is either a piece of stone or different stabilized woods! Wow! :bowdown:

Didn't you also get organism? ;)

I basically said microbes are really small organisms. I guess they're also called microorganisms.

I got totally pwned. :ugh: Thank you makelele. Are you from a swedishspeaking region of finland?

Yeah. About 50% of the people in my town speak Swedish. I'm bilingual, so I speak both Swedish and Finnish equally well (almost at least, I'd say my Swedish is a bit better).

Ok, that is cool. :yesway: My grandma was from finland, but I dont know any finnish at all. Its weird how you guys in finland learn swedish very well, while we in sweden dont really care to much about learning languages other than swedish and english.
