Hi! I'm feeling alittle unsure about this...I'm going to be trying to invest on some
custom inlays soon.Preferably a different colored vine.As I'm wondering on the very topped
scalloped frets (21-24) would abalone/real shell ware as quickly as would lets say a chrome color or vise versa; or are there not any differences in the long run? It will be played on alot and i know that's the first area where inlays start to fade.So I want the longest lasting "ware-able" purchase.Knowledge on the issue would be appreciated alot since 200-500 dollars isn't worth assumptions

.
Thanks very much in advance
Ralph
