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

[Desecrated]

Wtf are you talking about?

Therevera and Mayahana buddhists reject dharmas. Those refer to a set class system, one of the things Siddartha Guatama was against.

Are you sure you don't mean the eightfold path? Or staying with the four truths?

Buddhist belives in the 3 jewels which are; buddha,sangha,dhamma.
Where dhamma or dharma represent the teaching of buddhismen, the eightfold path and the 4 thruths are part of the dharma.

It's from the Tibetan "sect" of Buddhism which does follow the dharma path, and because of it's remoteness in the Himalayans, developed pretty much separately from Theravada and Mahayana. It's the same reason I would include swastikas as part of my design (Tibetans actually used it as part of decoration on their clothing, too).

Oh ok thats cool. I was assuming you knew a lot more or a lot less about Buddhism than me.

Full neck crop circles, like this or Ibanez dragon teeth.

That's some amazing work right there

or something like one of the symbols for one of the demons from the necronomicon (IE, James' Pazuzu guitar from Ibanez)

You mean this one. Looks cool but takes some getting used too.

At first I didn't think it would be a great idea because of the instant association with the Nazi party, but after some thought, it could work...

Instead of having dots on the fretboard, I'd have small swastikas (about the size of a typical large dot)

That's the down side of it. Sadly most people don't realise the swastika is actually a symbol of piece and the Nazi's reversed it.

those crop circles are bad ass, any pics of the dragon teeth?

those look more like shark teeth than dragon teeth, but thats what Jackson calls them.

 

[metalfiend666]

Yeah, but the Ibanez inlays came first.

 

[tylershelburne]

Depending on the guitar I would put in flame inlays the color of the guitar

That solar system thing blew me away. That's all I gotta' say.

Ever been to the freebirds burrito in austin? Good stuff

That texagram is pretty cool lol

Have I ever been to Freebird's? Do any of us think Drew won't finish his album?

Thanks, I like the texagram a lot.

+100, I'm glad I have Ron Thorn as a friend!!! That's not my guitar, just one of my favorite fretboards that he did on a Thorn! BADASS! I'm planning on having like at LEAST 2 more custom guitars built by him when he re-opens orders and I am heavily leaning towards the solar system inlay on one of the fretboards! Just looks SO killer!!!

That would be a cool name for a series too. Solar Series.

Those inlays are the best inlays i've ever seen.

 

[caughtinamosh]

my custom inlay : at the higher frets, a crescent moon facing the left, gradually changing to a full moon at the 12 fret, and then to a crescent moon facing the right on the lower frets.

Lunar Phase inalys FTW.

Or you could just do what Christopher Woods has done on some of his necks. See the "inlay, graphfx inlay" section of his website. And no, I'm talking about either of the top two.

*ARRGHHH, just realised I bumped a really old thread, AGAIN. Sorry, mods.

 

[renzoip]

No Inlays, side dots only. That's my favorite!

 

[vampiregenocide]

Probably an Aztec serpent like this, either along the whole fretboard or around the 12th. But seeings as I'm not a big fan of inlays, I'd probably getting something simple on the 12th like a cog or my nickname 'Rosstafarian' in gothic letters from the 7th to 1st.

 

[mnemonic]

i'd get a mother-of-pearl likeness of my own face from frets 10 to 14

If it hasn't been posted a heartbeat monitor (ya know, the thing that monitors your heart rate in hospitals, goes "beep....Beep...".) Have it a strong beat at the 3rd fret, and ok beat at the 7th, getting weaker at the 12th, very tiny at the 17th, flat line through the 24th.

Someone on here got that inlay on a custom 8 they had. I'd always wondered how that would work out, no that I've seen it if I ever get a custom that's the inlay I'll get!

That or I'll just shy away from inlays. Ever since I started playing classical, I really don't use them, any inlays I got would be purely for looks.
