I do business under Apex Custom Guitars. This is my mountain top (Apex) logo. I used a 1/64 down-cut spiral bit. Forgot to photo the cavity (sorry). Constructive criticism welcome i.e. size, shape, location etc.

Is that white mother of pearl in the inlay?

Is that a moon below the mountain peaks? What does it represent?

White MOP, that is a "roadway leading to the top (APEX).

Tim,

That looks cool. What is that tool and jig that you used? It looks only a little fatter than a pencil.

Cheers,

Jim

I didn't get mine from John but this is the same thing. Well worth the investment if you have a compressor and the cash.

Tim, thanks for the reply. I don't have a compressor yet but this will also go on my wish list.

Cheers, and thanks again.
