As Bob Taylor once said to me, “you can’t hear inlay“…

Pretty funny as Taylor guitars has made about a jillion dollars off of fancy inlays done mostly by computer numerical control machines.

That said, I like inlays, but I’d like them to look fairly traditional. Otherwise it’s just too jarring. And, you’ll regret it if you ever go to sell it, or your heirs well if they go to sell it!

Slot diamonds in a long pattern on the fretboard for me, as I will fearlessly lay em down and play lap slide with low action and a gentle touch.

Tom is correct. If you’re in doubt, skip it. I figure that’s what you’re wanting us to tell you anyway because that’s why you made this thread…

Whatever you do, enjoy the new guitar!
