Source for colored dot inlays


I'm thinking about replacing the black dot inlay on my PGMs so I'm trying to find a source for colored plastic dot inlays. I searched the net and have not found one yet though I know I've run across a site that sold them. If anyone has a link to a source, I'd appreciate them posting it. Thank you.

Fender California Clear guitar picks and a hole puncher. Seriously. Not kidding.

Thank you for the suggestion but I'm looking for opaque markers. I want the replacement of them to be as simple as possible.

Re: Source for colored dot inlays


why don't you just paint over them with nail polish or masked spray paint?

that's about as simple as you can get.

I've seen picks used a couple of times and the results have been pretty good - no end of colours to choose from either and probably much cheaper.

Because I don't want to hack up my guitars. I spent a good chunk of change on the guitars themselves and getting them refinished. Inlays are pretty cheap and replacing them isn't difficult. I'd rather just do it right.

Dani, thank you very much for that link! That person sells smiley face inlays which would be a perfect match for my Jester PGM.



That will rock hard!

Yeah, I dropped the seller a message asking him if I could get a non-graduated (size-wise) set so I could do a direct replacement. I don't want to tear up my fretboard just to put new dot inlays in. I figure that the seller will be able to accommodate me.

Thank you. In the end the paintjob cost about $875 IIRC.
