Members lowbrow Posted July 10, 2008 Members Share Posted July 10, 2008 First, hello from the Electric Guitar forum! Now, my question. I'm restoring a `63 Gretsch Corvette guitar (pic below). It's missing one of the dot position marker inlays. These seem to be unique to Gretsch as there is a pearl looking reflective kind of material underneath a circle of what appears to be clear celluloid or acetate (I'm thinking acetate). I've been told the pearl looking stuff is most likely a small dot of their drum wrap...probably pearl white. Anybody have a source for a small piece of this stuff? Thanks for any help or leads you can provide! Here's a shot that kinda shows the inlay... Here's the before: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 1001gear Posted July 10, 2008 Members Share Posted July 10, 2008 yeah, kidding. Meant to pop a link in there. It's a fret dot right?You can try Precision Drum, or Jammin' Sam or google drum makers, drum wrap etc. I've dealt with Precision Drum and you used to could get sample assortments with one inch squares. At any rate a tiny piece should be easy to come by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
