Taylor GS Mini with Cindy Inlay Stickers

[dmbandnick]

I've recently been turned on to fret stickers. Having never seen or heard of them I didn't really know what to expect but after finding a Cindy Inlay pattern I just couldn't resist giving them a try.

Ordered from a company online for $12. Super cheap so if I hated them I could simply remove them. They arrived yesterday and took only a week to arrive.

I was very impressed with the quality. They actually "look" like real abalone.

Application was easy enough, took maybe 5 minutes to cut and apply and I must say I was very pleased with the outcome.

They are thin enough that you don't feel them when you play and seem durable enough to last at least a little while. I've read several reviews from people who said they've lasted years. That remains to be seen but for $12 who really cares.

Of all the searching I never found photos of guitars with the Cindy inlay stickers installed so I thought I'd share a photo of mine. Taylor might want to consider trying custom inlay jobs on the GS Minis because I think it looks pretty sharp.

Sorry for the poor quality of photo. Taken from my phone, I couldn't get the lighting right to really show off the stickers.

Cheers!

Looks sharp! You should consider sending a few photos to their website for them to show others.

For the OP:

I have 4 guitars with stickers. They all look sharp and present no problem as long as you're not grinding the strings into the fretboard.

look for a seller named jockomo81 over on ebay. He's based in Japan, but he has a huge selection and he delivers without any problems.

I use them because they look cool and also help out on guitars that have no surface fret markers.

I can see a future with "fret inlay" on my 210....Mebe gold Fleur-de-lis?...Think it might go well w/ the gold tuners...Thanks for sharing..Never even new these existed.

You did a really nice job...it looks great. I did an inlay sticker on my GS Mini headstock.....it dressed it up a bit.

I actually had a friend who made decals for firetrucks etc. Back in the late seventies . My Greven has the naked lady headstock and thought it might offend someone in a church i played at so he gave me some scrap and i made a bikini for the Girl . Sorry I dont have any photos handy -but i think she looks better Naked !


I like your Cindy Inlays -they look beautifull !

I don't mean to be fussy, but I do believe that Taylor's "Cindy" fretboard design is owned by Taylor Guitars, and that they would not at all be pleased by someone else selling stickers of their design. I haven't called them about it, but I wouldn't be surprised.

That said, I do like this design. I have it on my 2000 914c, and consider it to be just the right touch of elegant bling before edging over into the realm of the gaudy. I do like the way it dresses up this GS Mini!

I like it, it does fit the guitar. I don't know if I'd want to put stickers on my guitar but for $12, perhaps I'd give it a try on my beater.

Did the stickers cover the dot marks on the fret board. I don't see any on your Mini.

[AndyFrank]

That would look real snazzy on my Baby T, is there website link for these guys?

Yes they do. The website shows how they are designed to cover the existing fret markers.

Again.....the website is inlaystickers.com.
