Petrucci Models - inlays or no?

[nosajwp]

Do you guys prefer the special inlays on your Petrucci's or the standard small dots?

 

[koogie2k]

Small dots.....the inlays are ok...just the big one saying "JP" is not for me as his siggy is on the headstock....plus, I like the dots.....just me though.

I like the JP inlays. They are unique. It is his signature guitar so it doesn't bother me having JP on the headstock and inlays. Les Pauls have Les Paul written on the headstock yet many people play those.

I have one with the inlays, but in all honesty, I wish it had the dots. I'm a fan of guitar necks with small dots. My next one will definitely have dots (and probably an extra string).

 

[Josh O]

I like the dots myself

I don't like the dots personally. They are too small.Might as well not even have them on there. I do like guitars with no dots at all that looks kinda cool.

My grandfathers name is/was James Paul. I like the inlays for that reason

 

[Colin]

Go the dots!!!!

 

[GWDavis28]

The dots were for me, but that's me. The JP inlays didn't really do anything for me.

In the end it's got to be your call.

Good luck, Glenn |B)

I say go for the JP inlays, if your initials are JP. If that isn't the case, go for the dots.

That's my opinion.

I've got the JP inlays, even though his initials are't the same as mine.

I like inlays that are not plain ol' dots or squares. Makes the guitar a little more unique. I'd love to see MusicMan do some of those intricate inlays (think of the Ib@nez Jem with that vine inlay or whatever it is).. not a copy of the Jem, but something equally elaborate. Or some other 'themed' set of inlays like PRS's bird ones. Maybe portraits of knuckleheads?

 

[glockaxis]

dots, or sharkfin inlays. Nah, just the dots ma'am.

 

[Larry]

no inlays for me i just dont like them

 

[CudBucket]

I've got one of each. I prefer dots and natural headstock.

 

[gui7ars]

I like the inlays on mine. Other than the JP on the first fret, the sheilds are small much like the dots but add a little class to the guitar, in my opinion. The JP on the first fret is also cool and the craftsmanship of the inlays are top notch.

 

[jeffrey]

I did the inlays on both of mine. I just wanted something different other than vanilla dots.

If I could've gotten it blank I probably would have, but as I couldn't I just went for the inlays.

 

[Colin]

after seeing the responses so far, I'm glad that BP gives us a choice.

i wish so much that you could get the same dots as his ibanez models
where they are up the top

when there are dots
teamed with the dots of the pickups
its just a bit too dotty for me
and the raised dots on the ibanez'es were great

not bagging the inlays but
ive got the jp shields and i love them

just like the raised dots too

 

[louisgtr]

I went with the dots.
