Is it really that difficult to find GREEN inlays..

turmoil · 04-29-2008, 11:48 PM

i've been trying to hunt down some green dot inlays for a project guitar and even sheets of green material that would match dimarzio's green pickups but i haven't been able to find a SINGLE thing!!

i was debating taking out the inlays in the guitar now, and just painting them but that seems so...lame? i don't know.

Can anyone help me out with this? It would be amazing to find some precut dot inlays but obviously, i'm sure they don't exist. if not, what kind of material could i get that is green and cut it to take the same shape and fit in place of my inlays now? I don't want to paint them for fear that it would just rub off with time, i'd like something permanent.
I'm open to any kind of suggestions

thanks!!!

I thought stewmac had green inlaying dowels, check there

UV7BK's had clear dots with green material (most likely paper) under them, to give the green inlay. See if that helps the search ;D

awesome suggestions guys!!
i checked out stewmac but i couldn't find the green dowels.
i think i'm also having trouble finding clear inlays as well lol

i did, however, find these Custom Luthier, Custom Inlays, Custom Guitar Inlays, Custom Pearl Inlays, Custom Fretboards Inlays, Custom Fingerboard Inlays, Abalam, Mother of Pearl - Inlay Material, Mother of Pearl Shell Blanks, Abalone, Gravalam, Abalam, Night Glow, Recon-Stone,

they the have "night glow" inlay material listed but no specs. i might call them and see if they have them.

also, my girlfriend suggested possibly finding some green plexiglass material and maybe using that. thoughts??

i found a guy on jemsite who can get me some really nice looking ones so depending on his prices i may go with either this or his.

thanks for the link man
