Just reading the thread title: CHEESE
I almost think the crosses are worse.... ALMOST.
But seriously, Celtic cross inlays cause me NOT to buy The schecter damien 7 elite or C-7 hellraiser (Which I REALLY wanted)
Not that the bats i have on the regular damien 7 are much better, but they are better haha.
I've always loved no inlays, it's simple and elegant. It ALWAYS matches, and i find dot inlays make stuff look cheap... Except on fenders.

Sorry, still going to cost full price. We make our inlay pieces in full sets. It's going to cost the same even if only one piece is used.
Would you be interested in other inlay options? How about a signature in a block at the 12th fret? Or initials in a block at the 12th fret? Did I hear someone say diamonds??

We'd have to work that out, but it might be possible. Warmoth did a 'Bart' inlay many years ago...

I really don't get the fascination with skulls & crossbones. I do happen to think it's cheesy. It also screams (in my opinion) of immaturity.

I think "screaming immaturity" is a bit much. In my opinion people like what they like. I don't see why anyone's age has to come into it. I do think the skull is a bit cheesey though. I also think it's something that might look really cool at first but after a bit of time you'd grow tired of looking at it. Not to mention it could so easily go out of style.....although when I see that skull on there I immediately think 80's. God knows I love the 80's, that was my decade, but some things need to stay there. Mullets come to mind. Anyway, I look at a fingerboard the same as a watch face. Sure, it might be cool to buy the fancy colored face on a watch but in another 10, 20, 30 years the standard black or white face will still be rockin' it while your blues, maroons etc... will have long ago faded away.

and I'm talking about a watch that you'll still be wearing in another 30 years like a Breitling, Rolex etc....

To be far, the ones Warmoth does know I think it's cheesy... :sad: They look a bit "funny" instead of mean...
if they had some evil skulls I'd think nice for heavy metal players, not as sofisticated as this but on this league:
These couple were made by Daemoness Guitars in UK... The inlays from this guys are absolutely piece of art! (not talking about the themes but the work itself as these other two below)

Binding and a 1/2 scallop? Cool.

+1 that the skulls are pure cheese.
also +1 that Warmoth needs to add many more inlay options. The price wouldn't be as big a deal if you could get what you really wanted. I'd love to see an option where you could provide your own fingerboard from someone like shark inlay for your neck, but I'm sure that raises too many warranty issues and such for w.
That water droplet inlay is incredible.
