    Actually it wouldn't... I'd only get MAYBE $600 for the Carvin and have to pay about $1K for a new one. Besides the fact that the scale length and neck radius is different on the newer ones. I found somebody local that would do it for $100 plus the cost of the inlays (about $50). Now, my only problem is what do I do about the 24th fret dots?

        I have had new inlays installed on a couple of my Jacksons. I started with white plastic dots and changed to gold MOP dots with blocks at the 12th/24th frets on one, and green abalone dots and split blocks at the 12th/24th on another. A third one was sold, but used the same "theme" of dots and blocks.
        I think I paid around $200-250 per job.

        Here is the green abalone version:

          Well, I picked up a set of 10 MOP pieces that are 2 x 2 x 0.06 inch on eBay today. Not too bad at less than $60.00 shipped from Australia. I figure that there ought to be enough material that I can pick some choice areas to cut the inlays from.


          When I get it going, I will post pics of the work so you all can laugh at me...lol!
