cSuttle Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hi, I thought this one came out pretty cool. Haven't shared anything in a while so I figured this would be a good one. It's going on a Griffin guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToddW Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Pretty amazing. I'm happy when I get the dots centered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmrentis Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Very cool stuff! I always get a kick out of your "scene" inlays, they are just amazing. I truly wish my best friend played guitar cause I'd definitely contact you for a similar take on the Quail/Dog inlay. Wow, that was such a cool inlay and would suit my friend. I'm still trying to find a way to fit it into something else, maybe a gun stock? I'll figure it out one day. Anyhow great work, very cool. That board would have perfectly fit one of Draks southwestern teles, when he was on that kick. Best wishes Craig. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to special design the inlay so I could layer the piece in more of a v shape. I did it without a single blow through, but it took some custom depth cutting to do it.

cSuttle Posted June 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 What material did you use for the cactus? It's malichite recon. Perfect for this application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthus Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I like the "scene" inlays as well, though every time I see them, it just kills me that it's not on a fretless board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cSuttle Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I like the "scene" inlays as well, though every time I see them, it just kills me that it's not on a fretless board Yeah, I hear ya. I know that I do spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out the best placement for all the parts. Sometimes the dang frets just fall in the worst possible places. Right through an eye, wiping out the tip of a horn. I had a case once were a fret ran right over the most complex part in the entire inlay. A bunch of little, hard to do pieces and nobody ever saw it. Oh well ... such is inlay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
