I saw a Royal Flush inlay for headstock somewhere along the way a couple of years ago. Any one know who created it, or where I might get a similar inlay for a headstock? Also looking for hearts, spades, diamonds and clubs inlays for fretboard and cant seem to find them from well known suppliers.

The sign on the side of the plumbers truck says
"In our bussiness, a flush beats a full house!!"

Or, on the septic truck it says
"We're #1 in the #2 bussiness"

Oh- I believe Tom Ellis has the "royal Flush" inlay.

Yes, Tom Ellis has the inlay. I couldn't find a web site for Precision Pearl Inlay but did find a photo of the Flush inlay. Image

I can cut that type stuff for you if you can't find it as a stock item somewhere, Rich. The execution isn't a problem, but high-end work is high-end pricey if it's a one-off :)

The problem is that Tom has a minimal order size per component. I built a poker table some 6 years back for a close friend and wanted to use these very inlays. Tom's sales staff said the minimum at the time I checked was 30 units per component if I remember right

Thanks to all for your replies. Very helpful as always - you guys rock !!!

Bob, I am building this guitar for a friend who came up with this idea and if you are willing to shoot me a price I would be happy to have you do it if my friend is willing to go the expense. You can email me at: rich@richaltieri.com

Unless you want it hand cut...
P.M. me and I'll send you a photo of one I did on the first fret 5-6 years ago.
