I saw a cool thread about showing your "bodies".Don't know if anyone would respond,but one of the things I love are the little details that you don't always see at the first look.I like all the logo variation available from the Mothership,and members imaginations.If you don't mind,please show your logos, and/or inlays.......

We did lovely sterling silver ovals around the MOP inlays on one of my customs. I think it's a wonderful, albeit subtle, detail.

I started this thread a few years ago - it's just about logos though, not focused on inlays.

The Custom Options page shows a variety of inlays, logos and other goodies. But you can't get enough of a good thing, so I'm eagerly awaiting more posts here!

Agreed Adriaan,there are plenty out there that are unique!I was looking at Will Gunns customs,and loved that on his basses he went w/an ebony lam on the headstock w/an inlay.It really made the inlay "pop".You could go a step further and put an inlay incircled in vermillion,or walnut, on a "White" wood,or incircle it w/a "white" wood on a on a dark laminate.
