I am interested in the new Gibson Original Les Paul Standard 50's or 60's.
On the Gibson website it says that the inlays on the fretboard are acrylic.
I had a 2015 Les Paul Standard (sold it) and the inlays on that one were real mother of pearl.
Can anybody tell me why Gibson uses this acrylic?
This is a 2200 euro guitar, and for me that's a lot of money, I wonder why Gibson now uses this material?
I played D'Angelico's with a single cutaway that had real mother of pearl inlays and go for less than 900 euros...
I can remember reading an article once that said that acrylic was also used in the early days of Gibson.
What's the story?
Thanks
