Welcome to Guitar Inlays Headquarters! As you’ll soon discover, guitar inlays are much more than mere decoration. Whether you’re here for info on inlay stickers, inlay kits, info on luthiers, or even if you just came to gawk at some pictures of gorgeous inlays,  you’ve come to the right place!

Welcome to Guitar Inlays Headquarters!

Here at Gui­tar Inlays Head­quar­ters, we hope to become the Inter­net’s No.1 resource for gui­tar inlay infor­ma­tion. We’re still putting togeth­er con­tent for the site, so please be patient as we don’t want to rush the process and end up with anoth­er poor­ly orga­nized web­site filled with (mis)-information.

Here’s what we have planned for the web­site: Our focus will be on gui­tar inlays and mar­quetry. We’ll write reviews and prod­uct com­par­isons about inlay relat­ed tools and kits. We’ll explore the dif­fer­ences between clas­sic abalone, nacre (moth­er of pearl or MOP), var­i­ous met­als, pre­cious gems and stones, tusks, exot­ic woods, and even new­er lam­i­nates such as Abal­am that are now used for inlays. We’ll check out inlay stick­er kits and write reviews on which are safe and playable, and more impor­tant­ly which ones can dam­age the fin­ish of your gui­tar. We also want to fea­ture arti­cles show­cas­ing fan­tas­tic inlay work too, so you can get inspired and fol­low in the foot­steps of oth­er great luthiers. We want to pub­lish inter­views and how-to’s by the world’s top inlay luthiers. Final­ly, we want to even­tu­al­ly set­up a forum where you, our read­ers, can vis­it, brain­storm, dis­cuss, and read your own posts on every­thing from new-age CNC rout­ing to old school DIY design.

As you can see, we have big hopes for Gui­tar Inlays HQ, so please bear with us as we slow­ly flesh out the web­site with con­tent and ideas and even­tu­al­ly make it the Inter­net’s No.1 resource for gui­tar inlays. And while we’ve got you here, we would real­ly love it if you tell us what sorts of infor­ma­tion you would like to read about here — it would real­ly help us with ideas for con­tent! And if you’re inter­est­ed in get­ting updates as we put more and more con­tent here, be sure to sign up for our mail­ing list. (zero spam, we promise!)
