GuitarMaestro Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Very nice work Jeremy! One question: Why did you leave such big gaps between inlay and frets? I think it would look even better with smaller gaps.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 i think those are shadows created by the lighting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGM Guitars Posted October 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Very nice work Jeremy! One question: Why did you leave such big gaps between inlay and frets? I think it would look even better with smaller gaps.... I think as wes said you're seeing the shadow of the fret, the inlay goes right under the frets, there are no gaps..

LGM Guitars Posted October 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Excellent work Jermey. Craig definitly has some serious competition now! Dragyn Nah, Craig and I have never been competition, I have pure respect for his work and I think he and I both look at each others work as inspiration, not competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clavin Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Thanks Jeremy. I've been holding back on this one for some time now just because of those competition comments Once you hit a certain level of quality of cuts and routing, the only place left to go is originality of design and creativity, something that really is personal, not competitive. Of course reproduction is also flattery. I try to emulate those I feel are an inspiration. As far as real inlay business competition goes I have never, and most likely won't ever, taken a commission from anyone on this forum. The few that have asked for me to do inlay work for them I have referred to Jeremy. The whales are cool. My next inlays are self competitive. I'm working on Living sea-3. Top secret inlays until they debut at the ASIA show in June. It's going to out-do anything I've done yet. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
