this is one from 2005 I did for myself. I wanted a special guitar . I learned to inlay from David Nichols in Malone NY. This project took about a year. What you can't see is that the inside of the guitar has inlay in it. I followed the tree of life on the side support braces and did some blue birds on the tail block. It is one of my every day players.

Re: Pearlzilla
wow!
That is some fancy inlaying. The guitar with the inlays looks really good.

Re: Pearlzilla
My son Willie and I were lucky enough to see this beautiful instrument in person when we visited John and his lovely wife, Brenda. Pictures can not begin to convey the beauty of this guitar. Nice guitar John... Happy New Year to all. This is STILL the best forum I have ever belonged to... Thank you.
Sincerely,
Rich
