MOTO Inlays

[shreddermon]

Im tellin ya. Back in the 70's they used to make toilet seats that were a pearly plastic. I think it was supposed to look fancy. Im sure someone saw moto and said that it looked more like mother of toilet seat than mother of pearl and the phrase just caught on.

+1. Think nasty/cheesy 60s and 70s "modern" design. Yes, they did in fact make toilet seats in that kind of finish. Actually, I remember it being more common for the seat cover, not the seat itself. But you get the point.

It's also known as Mother Of Toilet OPTION.

Wow, they still make em. I thought they went out of fashion when the cushioned ones showed up. Remember those things? You would slowly sink down as the air went out of the cushion.:ROTF:

Damn in all my years I never squatted on a MOTO toilet seat. And I grew up in the 70's no less. Wooden, plastic, that cheap vinyl cushiony crap, even metal... but never seen MOTO.

MOTO means FAKE MOP

fender uses it to decribe these as well


I really wish the MOTO was a bit more genuine looking
on my DXMG the inlays only look like real MOP in certain light
I wonder how much cash guitar makers save by NOT using real MOP?
I would rather pay a few more bucks for the real deal

Savage I have all of those picks you posted. I was always curious as to how Fender calls that one on the top left MOTO. It looks nothing like the other 5 picks showing and looks more like a graphite stone finish. Any idea how that is considered MOTO?

I was kind of pissed when I ordered a few dozen black MOTO and thinking it was "supposed" to look like the one on the middle left but got the top right instead.
