Kinda unique

Post by Ben-Had »

The inlay and binding on this one makes it kinda unique. He was a Navy pilot and had some specific symbols he wanted to use for inlay that represented certain marks in his career. Just delivered it yesterday.

Thanks for the compliments. That's all the pics I took. I've been real busy since the first of the year. I've had 2 guitar building classes (yes, I was the instructor!) and 2 other builds. I took most of the pics in the classes. The inlays starting from the bridge are 1. unit pins 2. Gold bar (his first officer appointment, Lt.) 3. his "wings" 4. a volcano erupting (his tour in the Philippines), 5. a Heart with a snow flake on each side (his tour in Antarctica where he met his wife) 6. gold Oak Leaf (his Commander appointment) 7. a wolf howling at the moon (don't remember what that one was), 8. Palm Tree (complete with coconuts), Moon and plane (he wants to retire to the beach). He supplied the palm tree.
