themetalhankey Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I know of black dots, but what kinds of designs are there out there using what kinds of material? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verhoevenc Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Well you can technically do ANYTHING in maple... however, even the slightest mis-route will look really bad. That's why people mostly do dots. But there's tones of designs you can do with JSUT dots if you put your mind to it. And you can make dots out of almost any material, plastic, shell, stone, woods, etc. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitefly SA Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Look up Brian's 8 string, maple fretboard with stylized abalone dot inlays. it's quite fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydrogeoman Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Here are some ebony initials I inlayed in a birdseye maple fretboard. http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j140/hyd...gwithnaptha.jpg I mainly like the contrast from a darker inlay material on maple - makes the effect more attractive IMHO, e.g., black pearl vs. white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
