Vintage Mother of Pearl Crown Trapezoid Fingerboard Inlays & Position Markers for Gibson® Guitars

Gibson® first introduced trapezoid fingerboard inlays in the 1940s and the design quickly became one of the most recognizable visual details associated with the brand. The distinctive shape has remained a defining feature of Les Paul® guitars for generations, appearing across both Standard and Studio models and becoming an enduring part of the classic aesthetic.

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.

Vintage Mother of Pearl features a warm, natural cream-to-yellow coloration that captures the look and feel of vintage guitar inlays. Unlike bright white modern mother of pearl, this warmer tone recreates the mellowed appearance commonly associated with older instruments, giving the inlays a subtle, time-worn character.
