What is your opinion about inlays on the fretboard, besides being decoration (for example PRS birds)?
Does anybody has experience that it makes learning better/faster, because you know where are the thirds, fifths, etc. You see the shapes of penatatonics etc.
But i heard once opinion that if you start to learn (something more than power chords) you stick to inlays. It was said by someone who switched from inlayed freatboard to one without inlays. Then after switching again to inlays he noticed that he started to stick to inlays (I don't know if I expressed it correctly)
I must admit that every time I play (try to improvise) I notice inlays and I come around them (maybe unconsciously but...)
What are your opinions?
