Where would you buy the Pearl Engraved name plates you see on some guitars at the bottom of the fretboard. They look like they're lazer engraved, maybe in a 1/2 x 1 1/2 in. size.

I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about, I assume a piece of rectangular pearl engraved with a name and inlaid at the 12th fret or somesuch?

Anyhow, I sell pretty much anything anyone's ever made of pearl and put on a guitar. I don't think I've put any such pieces on the website, but I do engraved pearl pieces as well as cut ones. If its going on a flat surface then I can just make and send the inlay but if it's engraved and on a fingerboard then I'd need to make the fingerboard here as well, since if I sent the inlay in the flat then you'd sand off the engraving installing it!

Hi Bob,
I am talking about a pc. of pearl way down on the bottom of the fretboard that has a makers name lazered(or what I think is lazered). I've got a pic but it's so small don't think you could see it. I'll see if I can find a better one.
