I have mixed feelings on full width MOP inlays, and until I see them in person I reserve judgement. I do like the clean lines/look of the present day inlays.

Yeah... I think the MOP inlays make the neck look very impressive. Can't believe I forgot to mention them.

There's more "sparkle" to the 60's inlays than the last models made in 72/3. They must have been mixing it a little thin, as the material ran out.
