Main Inlay Finish On Viking Guitar


Recommended Posts

Suttle, you are a MASTER. It blows me away every time.

I love everything you did except for the viking letters on the headstock. Comes off as a little self-explanatory to me. One big rune would have been plenty for me, but hey.

Just those three purpleheart inserts are enough to hold the headstock on again?

Awesome.

Those can't be string ferules just past the bridge sitting next to him, because it'd mean he super really tiny! Can you say what they are and how big he is?

edit: Never mind, went to your site, he's actually pretty big. Nice.

Best,

Todd

6 3/4" tall. Those are the stop tail mounts. It those were string ferles that would be really tiny. I would have to be a tibetin monk :-)

Nah, you don't get it. The body inlay is for right brained people and the headstock is for left brained people :D

I did glue the headstock first, but the purpleheart strips really make it strong. It will never break again.
