What materials are used for the bird inlays on PRS guitars? Ignoring the high-end models of the Core series, why do some SE guitars use shiny shell inlays, while the us-made more expensive models like S2 and even the Silver Sky model only use acrylic for the normal bird inlays?🧐
 
Depends on the model. MOP, abalone, paua.

And the shiney paua on certain SE models look flashy, but honestly I do not really like them. Relatively cheap paua sheets and that really shows. Acrylic actually looks not bad in comparison.

I like black mother of pearl...
I like the more subdued colors without the crazy figures
