The Art of Real Shell Inlays vs. Plastic Inlays

Plastic inlays may serve a functional purpose, but they pale in comparison to the magnificence of real shell inlays. While plastic might mimic the appearance, it fails to capture the depth, iridescence, and unique character that shells impart to the instrument. Each real shell inlay is a testament to the wonders of nature, making every guitar a distinct and singular masterpiece.
