this is a bluegrass cannon. A great guitar for lead and front work. Very responsive and tone is clear and very Martinish

I'd be happy to give you my opinion of the sound AND the playability if you would just send it to me for a couple weeks. :-)

The inlay was done by Tracey Cox. He figured out how to do a 3 D inlay process. I will be going up to NY to learn how. From what I can see it is a layered inlay and it is fascinating. Thanks for all the kind words.

Here is a link to Tracy's web page. The inlay galleries are pretty impressive.

Beautiful guitar, John! Is the BRW difficult to work with? I have heard it can splinter and crack. Sure looks nice on a guitar, though!

BRW is brittle but it isn't too bad. Take your time , it is a wood that is worth the effort
