TAG perspective on custom fretboard inlays?

[Carl]

I was wondering what the TAG perspective is on custom fretboard inlays. I have read elsewhere on this forum that it is generally not offered (other than maybe a blank front side). Is that simply based on not having a strong enough demand to invest in it, or are there other reasons why custom inlays are not a preferred option?

FWIW, I am more than happy with dots, although some offset options would be nice. I have also seen other vendors get carried away to the point that the inlays become a turn-off, ruining an otherwise beautiful guitar. Just curious to hear the various perspectives. Thanks!

i always considered us a performance guitar, so other than fancy tops, we haven't gotten into extra decoration. it always felt like too much trim on a car, i hate fake louvers. shell is hazardous to work with and now even more regulated than it used to be, so i don't want it in the shop. and alternative fake plastic shell isn't something i want to feel under my fingertips.

we do offer offset dots, either all on the bass side or half and half bass and treble sides.

Makes sense, thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.
