INLAYS

Add Flair To Your Custom Guitar

CUSTOM INLAYS

With a vast selection of materials at our disposal, inlay can really transform a guitar or bass into something special.
Whether it's plain dots, blocks of Abalone, or an intricate design consisting of multiple shells and stones; your custom inlay is where craftsmanship, an eye for detail, and some personal flair meet.

We're used to working with shells, stones, metals and everything in between, so we'll discuss your ideas to help come up with a stylish and unique setting to complete the look.
