In response to numerous customer requests, Carvin has expanded our Custom Shop inlay offerings. We’ve added an assortment of new black mother-of-pearl and black acrylic inlays, including:
- black mother-of-pearl dot inlays
- black mother-of-pearl diamond inlays
- black mother-of-pearl block inlays
- black acrylic diamond inlays
- black acrylic block inlays
These are in addition to the wide assortment of inlays currently offered, including genuine abalone block, dot, diamond and signature inlays; and white mother-of-pearl block, diamond and signature inlays.
Black inlays looks especially good on guitars and basses with maple, birdseye maple and flamed maple fingerboards, but also look great on rosewood fingerboards. Additionally, they can be used on ebony, for those players who want a more stealthy look.

Order your new Custom Shop guitar or bass today, and choose from hundreds of options suited to your own personal tastes and playing style.
