I know there were a few prewar Gibson inlay patterns that were never or rarely used in the prewar days, like what we now call the Blackjack pattern. Does anyone know of any others?
Ive seen a few yes, Greg Rich must have any and all tht exist
Here is a recent (+/-) copy of the UB-5 inlay pattern on a 5-string neck: banjohangout.org/classified/111304
I don't know who made it.
There was a variation of the Flying Eagle inlay which was more detailed than the pattern we usually see today but I don't have an example of it. Gibson used it on a few select banjos, but it proved to be too complicated to use in production work, so they went with the more familiar pattern.
