Stick-on Block Inlays?
- Thread starter grace & groove
- Start date
A UK company was to provide me with a sample of a Mother of pearl sticker sheet.
This was very thin MoP 'printed' onto the A4 adhesive layer, and could be cut out to your own requirements. The bonus of this was that it was non-permanent, thus you could always take them off if you got bored of them. This is not an option with professionally cut inlays.
Unfortunately the company went bust and I never saw the sample..

No, ideally the strings never touch the fretboard.gottawalk said:Wouldn't the "stick-on" style start to pull up after the wear on the fretboard from playing???
I was researching this for my Gibson SG.
That one website that went out of existance actually has a few pages that still work on their website if you fiddle around with the URL.
They tell you the dimensions they used to ensure the "onlays" were thin enough to not mess with anything.

How?
I would be worried that they would quickly wear off leaving a sticky substance over the board

There are a few companies who do adhesive inlays, I believe. They're inexpensive, supposedly you can't feel them at all, and I've seen some very good looking instruments that have them on the fingerboard.
Here are the two companies I could find; I've heard good things about both:
