They are not crushed pearl inlays, so you are seeing correctly.

Wanted to take this home


George Exhibit is entire all 2nd floor alone.

Thanks for the awesome photos, Greg! Would love to see them in hi-res as well.

I would also like some high-quality pics...keep 'em coming, Greg!

Posts made in The Beatles forum to draw some more attention to these awesome shots.

I went down there today, I thought it was so great that you could be so close to those guitars. You're only probably just over a foot away from them. No photos were allowed, but Greg did a great job capturing what I saw today for all of us anyway (thanks Greg)

Also, there was a thread within the last month or so about the fireglo finish on a headstock where the middle bit horizontally had no color. George's was the same way, so it would appear it's correct historically.

Thanks all . Just a quick note. The photos that I've taken (posted) & shared here (and other forums) are all Copyrighted .
If you would like to use any of them please let me know , my contact info is easy to get.
Cheers !
