guitar_ed Posted February 10, 2003 Report Posted February 10, 2003 Howdy, Since the question of gold frets was raised, I thought I would try this. From time to time I see people who do silver inlays on their fretboards. Why not gold? Silver is still fairly soft. Gold has been used in the cavities in my teeth. In either case, it would be amalgem (sp?) Any thoughts? Guitar Ed Quote
Brian Posted February 10, 2003 Report Posted February 10, 2003 Purely cost It could easily run into $1000 plus Quote
rhoads56 Posted February 10, 2003 Report Posted February 10, 2003 14k Gold flat bar, 1.5mm x 1.5mm x 440mm = $226 USD (approx 1/16" x 1/16" x 17") Thats enough to do a small vine. I used about 750mm (silver) for the guitar in the link in my signature Quote
Jupiter Posted February 11, 2003 Report Posted February 11, 2003 I saw a PRS Private Stock { what a snobby name... } with 24k gold bird inlays once..... to me, it seemed gaudy, but i'm sure whomever paid $6000+ for it didn't think so... Ben Quote
