Houdini Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Just wanted to see what everyone thinks about using MOP and other shell veneers. I was thinking about getting some to make headstock logos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clavin Posted March 8, 2005 Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Fender does their acoustic guitar logos with shell veneers. From a distance (say maybe 6 feet?) it looks like inlay. Up close it looks cheap. There is no flash, and little color shift to it. It's easy to use, you just cut it out with an exacto knife, and finish/build over it to level. If your looking for the ultimate cheap-fast-shell looking material this is it. If your goal is a high end look, you want real inlay.

Houdini Posted March 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2005 Hey, Thanks for the info. I don't think I want to use it if it looks cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
