I will say it turned out looking nice. But the actual pearl inlayed on my torch headstock, rosette, and fretboard have so much luster that holographic effect that this fake pearl did not.
The abalonoid was an easy way to add side profiling but I can't say I would use it again.
Thanks for the compliment Herman,
Fake Abalone
