Is perloid a synthetic and MOP the real thing? mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 1306 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, December 11, 2003 - 5:52 am:    Yes - though since the catalog was published we've discontinued the pearloid inlay material. dela217 Advanced Member Username: dela217 Post Number: 239 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Thursday, December 11, 2003 - 11:39 am:    I have a bass with pearloid inlays. I wonder if it can be upgraded someday to the real stuff? mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 1314 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Thursday, December 11, 2003 - 11:46 am:    Sure, but we like to do it when we're refretting.
