I need pearl numbers for an inlay on a guitar I am building. DePaule only has two styles, and if need be, I will pick on of them, but I was wondering if anyone knew where I might find some pearl numbers.
Thanks in advance!

Tony

Trevor,
Hilarious! I really should contact Mr. Birko.

John,
I was going to contact them if I can't find anything pre-made that I like. But I should give Andy Birko first crack since he cuts my bridges! Fortunately, Trevor reminded me of Andy's services.

Does Birko do laser cutting too? Or, was it the wild hair that reminded you of his CNC service?

Bryan,
I posted that picture in another thread, Trevor just changed it to be about my topic. Also, right underneath the pic, he said I should ask Andy. I am far too slow to have picked up on any clues that did not say "Ask Andy B"

Andy,
I knew this would happen at some point as you got to know me better. It was fun while it lasted. Out of curiousity, it was the goat pics that turned you off for god, right? Me and my goats. Always getting in trouble!

Just curious, but what kind of inlay are you working on? I'm imagining this giant clock unraveling down a fretboard.

Hardly! I am building a commission that will be a 15th wedding anniversary gift. The buyer wants the number 15 on the guitar.
Although that clock idea is pretty cool too.

If you can't find anything that your customer likes, maybe I can help with a custom design.

Don't be lazy Tony, spell it out in letters.

Just double check your spelling first....

Really, all you need is an X and a V. No curves, you should be able to cut that out yourself. I've done it Ms of times!

Not always, according to Ms. Klein. I always wondered why, if she was so darned smart, she wasn't the Latin teacher.
