Hey everyone, my name is Joel Byron. I am a musician and luthier in Athens, GA. I have an abused 66 Jazzmaster neck in for restoration. It needs one of the inlays replaced. It has the pearlescent plastic block inlays. Does anyone know a source for this kind of plastic? Thanks for your help!

Not sure if guitar part resource (.com) sells this? You could contact warmoth and see if they will sell it.

Oh and welcome!

do you have any examples of your work?

there are other luthiers here who may be able to direct you to a better source

Warmoth does not sell it. I've been all over the internet trying to find it. Help me someone.... ☹

I typed "block inlay" into Ebay. Maybe there are a few leads there...

My results

Good luck!
