Favorite & Least Favorite Inlays / Fretboards

Re: Favorite & Least Favorite Inlays / Fretboards

Favorites are the M.O.P and abalone inlays on my PS10IIltd Iceman. Close second are sharkys, especially in zigzag on ebony. [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Likes: Sharks and Blocks (like an LP Custom) and only on Ebony. Trapezoids on Rosewood (LP Standard)

Dislikes: everything else

Fretboard - Rosewood. I have yet to play an ebony fretboard that has felt nice. I'm still looking though. Iwould like to play more maple but the only ones I seem to find are Strats and I can't stand Strats.

Inlays - MOP sharks for J/C definitely. I can't stand the flames, not a big fan of the ridiculous inlays like the PRS Dragon and such. I prefer the Hamer crowns over the victory, don't like the boomers either. Dots are cool. Not a big fan of blocks, either.

I call it the MF-1 and it is by far my favorite guitar, not only for obvious reasons but also it really does play fantastic...and the inlays are outstanding!

Thanks!
Michael Fonce (MF-1!)

After the pic of the headstock, I guess it is yours! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I just ordered mine. It was a toss up between ebony and Brazillian rosewood with a single abalone sharkie at the 12th. I went with ebony. If I went with BR I would have had black binding on the neck and head, but since I went with ebony, I went with ivroid.

Well Ron, I guess he's not one of the guys that copied you! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Ebony for the fretboard. Rosewood feels too soft and I don't like the of maple.

I don't like inlays period, but I make due with sharkfins. Although, Jeff & Kerry's Slayer eagle inlays are pretty sick.

Re: Favorite & Least Favorite Inlays / Fretboards

the "brazilian rosewood boards on prs's feel a lot like a rough sanded pos 2X4 and probably cost the same. Don't believe me try it yourself.

Re: Favorite & Least Favorite Inlays / Fretboards

I never tried a PRS with a Brazilian rosewood board. I've had PRS Customs with Indian (I believe) that felt that way. My 87 Jackson Student Arch top has BR and it's just as smooth and dense as ebony. Must be a PRS thing?
