RETROSPEC is proud to take Cellulose Nitrate Inlays to the next level. Introducing RETROSPEC Inlays, featuring the exact pattern used on Vintage Les Pauls from the 1950's.

RETROSPEC Inlays are genuine cellulose nitrate, manufactured by Mazzucchelli in the original Italian factory, in the correct vintage pattern. The thickness is 0.070" with the pattern running all the way through the material to allow for sanding. 

Using genuine vintage guitars for the ultimate color reference, RETROSPEC has refined the inlay color to achieve the correct warm, ambered hue.  New RETROSPEC inlays look vintage correct, right out of the package, with no additional coloring required.

RETROSPEC inlays have been slowly laser cut for accurate, ultra-smooth edges and a perfect drop in fit.

Available in Historic Cut or Vintage Cut.

Also available aged through Eastern Maple Carved Tops:
