OK... Before I ask this, the guitars I am thinking about modifying are JetGlo 360s from the 90's... Great guitars but not collector items...

WITH THAT DISCLAIMER...

Is it possible to enlarge the position markers from the triangle inlay to the full width inlay? Are the angles the same? If so, anyone know who does it and/or have any idea about pricing?

One merely wonders.

Of course - i've had it done. This was a stock '99 4003:

Contact either Dale Fortune or Paul Wilczynski, both members of this forum. Dale did the above work, and I have a 330 with him right now that is getting full width MOP inlays.

Thanks buddy. Traded the Blue Boy for a 12 String.

Dale or Paul, can you email me on pricing? Not looking for the sparkle inlays necessarily (unless you have the material). Also, not looking to keep the fretboard varnish necessarily... (Have a 4001 with an unfinished board that is fine with me).

These are twin early 90's, 24 fret, 360 JetGlos. One 6, one 12. Both in nice condition but players and gigging guitars. Always loved the full width look. What's the frequency, Kenneth?

Thanks in advance
