Fretboard inlay.. What to do?

NickCormier · 03-14-2007, 07:02 AM

I been trying to finalize a design for my fretboard, but I have no idea if I wana go thru with my current idea.. This is the mockup I got back from the dude.. It will be on maple fretboard (might try to do a flamed fretboard)

I dunno tho.. Can you tell me guys what you think of it? Would it look cool (its going on most likely a 7 string BC rich Stealth shape, Dark blue quilt body/HS, Edge Lopro7 + 2 hum) or should I think of another inlay? It will be a 12th fret inlay only though, I know that for sure.

Of course, here is my mockup of it, on a Kelly (no stealth mock)

I think in my mockup, it looks badass, but the mock the guy sent me... doesnt look as cool.. Obviously in terms of dimensions its very hard to get them close, but I dunno.. I dont wanna keep bugging him to change everything (which I already did like 5 times).. but maybe I'll just resize the mockup I did, and copy dimensions exactly from that and put it on his board mockup.

Put pentegrams and demons raping virgins and shit. Come on, you know you want to.

Never mind, just went into your post and got it. Pretty cool, reminds me of Marty Friedman :P I wouldn't put a star on my guitar but it's cool

eh. im not "metal" enough for that JJ

I think somewhere between the two would look best. His mockup has the yellow star too small, yours has it too large, at least for my tastes. It's your guitar though.

It's missing a major design element:

BAM!

SOK!

KAPOW!

That's a little immature don't you think?

IMO the first one is better (smaller yellow bit)
