They are ok for trem guitars, they help keep it in tune. However you will need to use locking tuners for it to work.

I agree with DB, they are *ok*, don't use them regularly, use bone or brass, just anything but plastic :P

so the builds going well, got 3 coats of dark tease on the body and started shaping the head stock , found a nice piece of m.o.p on ebay from als, just wondering do i stain the wood first before setting the inlay or glue the inlay in sand then stain? will it stain the m.o.p?

It should not stain the MOP, you want the MOP in before you sand so that you can sand the whole thing level.

thanks gavin i thought so just wanted to be sure

And to add to what Gav said, polish the MOP before you start to Wudtone. It will be easier to keep clean and when you put the top coat on you can go over it.

thanks for the input, now to try and shape the m.o.p nice and slow then i will trace it onto the headstock and cut to fit.. might try a offcut piece of wood first

ok well the inlay ok for my first try. and finished off the head and put one coat of dark tease on it , dunno if i want to do another.
