      I personally love no-inlay fretboards ESPECIALLY with Ebony! And the project I'm about to undertake will feature a blank Ebony fretboard! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

          No/minimal inlay = superior.

          My DRP TCM will have no inlay on unbound ebony.

            Blank ebony fretboards with binding rule!
            Here's my ESP SRC with the Y2KV

            And here's my guitar teacher Jake from Strung Out with his custom shop all Mahogany ESP M2.


            I think ebony looks sexy without any inlays unless it's sharkfins.

                    I remember seeing Boston play in (of all places Boston) back in the 80's and Brad Delp had a nice set of Black Soloists with Ebony boards and no inlays.. looked cool as hell ..

                      Damn, those are huge! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Very cool. Love the H/S layout, too. The Schecter I'm looking at also is H/S. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

                        I guess no inlays can look cool with the right guitar but get on a dark stage and see how fun it is. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

                          Easy, you just cut some dots out of glow-in-the-dark material and paste over the side dots.....voila.

                            That green bass is a beauty. I'm in love.

                              My main guitar for years had no inlays. Now when I see em on other guitars it looks cluttered. But I get around with no problem. As mentioned already, side dots, but I'm so used to the board I don't even use that anymore.

                                I placed a custom shop order that will have no inlays.
