MOTO Inlays

[DonP]

I wonder how much cash guitar makers save by NOT using real MOP?

Pobably next to nothing.

I would rather pay a few more bucks for the real deal

Yes, but the guitar makers would rather charge you a fortune for this small upgrade. That's how they justify jacking up the price on the high end models.

I'd say it's more to do with consistency in the product than how much money they save...

So I just got a 2005 NOS DK2 with blue orange flames today and I just looked at the MOTO inlays. They actually look pretty good to me. After looking at my KV2 and my KE2 side by side with the Dk2 (lotsa 2's) I can now tell the difference between the two. I bet before comparing them side by side I would not have been able to. They look cool to me and I have to say for 350.00 bucks the guitar is really f'n nice

To say it is a MOTO inlay has nothing to do with the material that is used in the inlay. It is a method to get paste, mother of pearl, diamond dust or whatever that will fill the route. http://www.inlay.com/inlay/pearl/pearl-1.html
