What’s the greatest PRS fret board inlay?

[11top]

Is it original birds?
Simplicity of moons?
No inlay to let the wood speak for itself?
12th fret only?
One of the dragons?
Knots?
One of the anniversaries?
A 1-off PS inlay?
Other?

Wadaya think ladies and gents?

Oh, and pics would be nice.

Old school birds done in abalone.

That being said, I do love their more subtle anniversary vine inlay too.

Though there are others I really enjoy, OG Birds changed the world. They’re iconic.

20th Anniversary Birds. So epic they can't be contained to the fretboard.

I like how I now get alerts whenever you post a picture.

One for you Sergio.

Much respect for OG birds, and I love moons, but I’m a dragon guy, judging by my tats. I gotta go Dragon, full scale or baby.

One for Bodia.

A Bodia inlay, if you will.

I'm a big fan of the 30th anniversary birds (variant of the 20th, with added purfling).

Moons don't get enough love either!

 

[Alnus Rubra]

The trifecta!

Which part of "fret board" did you not understand?!! Moderators, arrest this Johnny-come-lately! Hit him with 3 counts of thread hijacking! Jeeze!!!!

Yep. JD's was one of the two fancy ones I thought of, too. This is the other:



Regarding more "standard" inlays, my favorite is probably the 20th anniversary birds, but I also like brushstrokes done in abalone and MOP:

@Brian G's exclusive Nightfall is very sexy. Going to make for a tough decision if/when I do another PS.
