Black Mother of Pearl Block Fingerboard Inlays & Position Markers for Gibson® Custom Guitars

Gibson® uses rectangular block inlays as an upscale alternative to their traditional trapezoid and dot markers, reserving them for top-shelf models to reinforce a deluxe image. Gibson® Custom Shop’s "Black Beauty" has cemented this inlay shape as an icon for generations to come.

Genuine mother of pearl is traditionally reserved for some of the most prestigious instruments, including many historic and vintage-inspired reissues. Its combination of authentic appearance, natural variation and premium feel makes it an ideal choice for builders and players looking to capture the look and character of a truly exceptional guitar.

Black Mother of Pearl features a deep, rich coloration with natural variations in tone and a subtle iridescent shimmer that becomes visible as it catches the light. Unlike solid black synthetic materials, genuine mother of pearl has a distinctive depth and organic character, with flashes of gray, silve, and darker tones that shift from different angles. This unique combination of dark color and natural iridescence creates a sophisticated, understated appearance that adds a premium touch to any guitar while maintaining the unmistakable beauty and character of genuine mother of pearl.
