Inlay Stickers RS-244ST-BL Acoustic Guitars - Soundhole Rosette/Purfling - Stripe - Abalone Blue

A unique and quality product. Easy to apply (much cutting required in my case though since I used on a violin’s edge rather than on a guitar’s sound hole). The end result was fantastic and I get so many compliments!

I really like these decals. I was a little hesitant to buy them because it's hard to get a good look by the pictures posted. I really wanted them to look like real abelone. I was refinishing and repairing an old ibanez acoustic and I was trying to dress it up a little bit so I purchase these to put around the sound hole. I think in the end they look great. Now keep in mind, this is not real abelone. It is Just A sticker. But they do shine and have a luminescent look to them in different shades of lighting. If you are unsure if they will fit your sound hole, make sure you measure so you get the right fit. I ended up with 2 Pieces left that I did Not use. They stick down very well and are very thin and I have been playing my guitar for a little over a month now and they do not peel up so, It was well worth the money and I would definitely purchase them again

Definitely worth the money. I'm very happy with the results. As a bonus, the manufacturer gives two extra sections in case you mess up during installation. See my installation tips, below.This review would have been five stars if they made each decal on a separate piece of sticky paper. As is, you have to hold the entire thing and it's way too awkward and takes longer than it should.After putting these (4 stickers) around the sound hole to create a simulated abalone rosette, I am very happy with the results.I also purchased the 'Tree of Life' stickers for the frets and absolutely love them. Again, individual chunks would have been better than working with the entire thing in my hand during installation.When sunlight hits these stickers, they look amazing. The colors jump right out and - wow.OK, so here's what I learned from installing the two sets of stickers on my acoustic guitar... put the stickers on a table with the manila side down and the clear side up. Use a pick to scrape on the clear side to make the stickers adhere to the clear side instead of the manila side. Repeat.Peel of the manila side and use the clear side with the stickers attached to get an idea of where you want to put the stickers. Gently place the first sticker, aligning it with one of the existing lines around the sound hole. You might have to experiment to see which line will be best for your guitar. I think I covered one or two of the existing lines. Once you're confident the other three stickers will form a perfect circle, attach the first sticker by pressing in the center and working outward. Use the attached sticker as a guide for the next and repeat the processes for the others. When applying each sticker, use a pick to scrape the sticker from the clear side onto the guitar.If you've also purchased the 'Tree of Life' stickers for your frets, and recently applied oil to the fretboard, wait several weeks before applying the stickers. It matters.Nearly perfect, except for all the stickers being on the same piece of adhesive. Highly recommended.

Ease to put on look great just like real inlay

This looks like a nice product but I have not been able to use it because it’s just one circle of Abalone. It really needs some trim around it to make it look nice. The picture led me to believe that there was some trim around the Abalone. My mistake. I wish there was some trim available to go on each side of the Abalone to make it stand out. Just unable to find that. When I do, I hope to be able to use it.

Added it to my guitar to give it a bit more pizzazz . Wasn’t too difficult but recommend having an exacto knife to help get the angle correct. Just have to be careful and not scratch your guitar.

These were simple to apply and they look great on my acoustic guitar. Just wanted to personalize my guitar a bit and these were the absolute perfect addition

I'm obsessed with turquoise, so I wanted a little flash on my guitar. For the price, this is an amazing product. Very easy to apply. I wish the edges of the individual decals blended a bit better so the pattern flowed more, but unless you look really close you can't tell.
