Nothing more than eye candy, but hey that's the business I'm in.

GregP Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Holy heck! It's "too much" for my actual 'practical' tastes, but it's still highly impressive and extremely well-done! Thanks for sharing. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racer X Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 What, that pile of garbage?! Haha! No, seriously, that is INCREDIBLE work, and deserves to be commended. Wow.

cSuttle Posted February 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Beautiful guitar!!! To me it it over the top, but well executed! No question it's over the top, but that is what the manufacturer wanted. The guitar sold at the NAMM show it three days. Different strokes . . .

It is a great guitar, and as we all know it is all about the customer (or the person the guitar will belong to) wants. Just like the PRS Dragons... Also I edited your post once for having 2 pics!!! and you deicded to fix it!!! I won't edit it again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cSuttle Posted February 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Also I edited your post once for having 2 pics!!! and you deicded to fix it!!! I won't edit it again! Acutally, I didn't know that. Sorry. Guess I need to pay more attention to the rules I thought I had screw up when the second picture didn't show up so I fixed what I thought was my mistake. Now that I know, won't happen again. Yes, inlay personal taste varies widely. My bother is a bass player and likes clean fretboard with no inlay at all, not even dots. Whenever he comes over and I'm working on a guitar like this one, he always says the same thing - "You can never have too much inlay on banjo." Funny thing is, I do work for two banjo companies and they have less inlay than many of the guitar I do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Cool, I want to give inlay a try, but right now I don't have the funds for it. It is present in my to learn list, so hopefuly in a near future. I have been checking your site as well as Craig's... so we'll see what happens.

Clavin Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Maiden- My inlays are totally by hand. CSuttle is CNC. I am sure he costs way less than I do and can get it done faster.. Go with him. I still have not ever had one commission come from this board and I am absolutely fine with that. I'm not worried about making money from this. I do it to push my personal artistic limits. I started out here just to help how many years ago... 2 or 3 or so? That's still fun. I drew one up last night I hope to have done soon. Thanks.. Craig L.

Maiden69 Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Craig, I'm well aware of this!!! If I start with this I might start buying the pieces precut and inlaying them, just to get the feel of leveling and the routing with the dremel... After that I do plan on getting into the cut by hand ones. I'm glad that you and many pros have decided to stay here and give us some help and inspiration! Believe it, it is greatly apreciated.

mikhailgtrski Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Maiden - Warning: Once you start doing your own inlay you'll be hooked! And I don't think they treat that addiction at the Betty Ford Clinic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cSuttle Posted February 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 That is quite impressive! Thanks! On the curved surface of the guitar (is has an arched top) it was a real pain to do. But, it was worth it in the end. The buyer of the guitar was some Japan collector so I've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
