Show me some guitars with NO INLAY on the neck (not even dots)

[LowWatt]

I'm getting another custom Brian Monty guitar (Gretsch style) and I like the idea of an Ebony board with no inlay, not even dots. It looks good in my mockup, but I wonder how it will look in real life.

Any pics of guitars with zero inlay on the neck (headstock inlay is fine) are appreciated.

That's the one that had me worried that maybe my idea wouldn't look so good. Now after seeing all the other guitars here (especially that Koll!) I know I'm making the right choice.

Keep 'em coming!!!

Yeah but, but, but how do you know where to put your fingers!?

Here's mine:



Ever since I saw/played a Parker Fly, I've loved no-inlay fretboards. They just look elegant to me.

I have to be frank. Here's the guitar I assembled (Warmoth body and neck) with an ebony fretboard with no inlay. I regretted the decision from the day I got it. Does it look cool? Sure. Do I miss the inlays? Absolutely. I'm in the process of having my 2nd Jerrycaster built for me now. It has inlays (beautiful Celtic-like ones similar to the ones Doug Irwin inlayed into the Garcia's Tiger).

Bob Benedetto says, "Here's the 6th fret right here. You can always find it - it never has a dot anyway." (And the centaur plays air guitar....)

I love the look of no inlays on the fingerboard. I`ve had several bolt on guitars w/out them and a Gibson CS Pat Martino model. I think it looks a lot classier! Also to answer Structo`s ? That`s why they put dots on the side of the fingerboard as well.

I like inlays because I'm a bad player that has to sing too. good reference.

I really like the clean fret boards here! i had to think for a sec, but i don't ever look at the dots/inlays, i use the markers on the side of the neck for positioning if i get lost. might be the way I hold my guitar, i'd have to kinda lean to see the board.
