A while ago I got a Musikraft Dinky body which I finished in this flashy 80s style. It's a bit rough but I'll probably redo it in the future. I got the Musikraft Dinky because I wanted the original Charvel Dinky shape from back in the 80s. According to a guy in the Charvel factory from a factory tour video, that original shape was derived from a strat body by shaving off the radiused edges. Later on they made a smaller version of their Soloist body for their Dinky guitars and now they use the exact same Soloist body for all their guitars.

I want to order a Warmoth neck for it which is probably going to be a paddle head and make it like the Hamer Californian like I did in the past. But I'm not sure what inlays to choose. I'm thinking between the new Egyptian ones and the Star inlays. I love both, and the Egyptian ones I definitely want to get at some point. The Star inlays on the other hand are classic 80s inlays and they also match the decal on the guitar body, "Star Traveller". The name on the headstock will probably be the not-so-inspired "STAR-T" lol. Taken from the decal words. It sounds pretty 80s though. :p

Trying to decide at the moment on the inlays to place the order. What would you choose in this case?

Cool looking body.

On maple with inlays I think less tends to be more. And also consider not overpowering the body which already will catch the eye.

For inlays, out of the two you mentioned, I would go for the Eqyptian Eye only at the 12th fret and not have the ankhs.

Other options, luminlay dots or no inlay at all.

Ebony board with lightning bolts could look good.
