I have sharktooth inlays on my Ibanez, which they kick ass, but I love the vine looking shit on the schecters, as well as skull and crossbones on the kirk hammett esp sig model.

I like no inlays, or single 12th inlays the best, followed by black pearl. I also like Ibanez sharktooth inlays, on the RG350 they look like mountain peaks.

It depends on the guitar. I mean, you wouldn't have sharkfins on a Gibson Les, now would you? No. But all around, I guess the sharktooth that the Ibanez RGs have on them. Other than that, Diamond inlays kick ass too.

really? i think theyre kind of wannabe

as for the inlays, it really depends on the guitar. sharkfins look great on a jackson, but imagine them on an sg!

id have to say off set dots. i dont like when half the fret area is pearl and half is wood, but dots always look cheap

But I guess my favourite inlays are either sharkfins or sharktooth.

I think the Alembic basses with the LEDs on them are a badass idea. I like no inlays or sharkfins, or just 1 custom one at the 12th fret. I like a lot more that that, but if i got another custom i would choose those.

I think Skull & Crossbones look pretty neat on a black Jackson or Ibanez, but only at the 5th and 12th position

if you guys have seen em, on some of the custom bc rich's, they have enlarged diamond inlays (as opposed to the smaller ones they put on the nj's) i would venture to say that the large diamond inlays are my favorite.

The only problem with some of those is that you have more electrical interference, and more noise. Although get a Rocktron Hush and problem solved. I'd love one of those in a custom Les or RG. God, I could just blow thinking about that...


...shit, I didn't just... UGH.
