Hi, im wanting to get new guitar inlays. The AC/DC thunderbolts. It says its a dotbuster and im not sure if that means stick it on like a sticker or actually cut and install?
Answer
I had custom inlays done on a Hamer bass I ordered back in the mid-80's (it was a modulated radio wave across the whole neck). That was $400 to have done.
I'm figuring that's about what it would cost you today to have your existing inlays pulled, the fret board routed, and new inlays cut and installed.
It's not the material that's expensive (unless you're using high-grade abalone), it's the labor.
It what you're talking about are stickers, save yourself the aggravation...they'll look great as long as you don't touch your guitar. But, as soon as you start playing they'll come off at the worst possible moment (right in the middle of your big solo).
