All of the inlay work was done by one of the best inlay artists on the planet right here in the San Francisco Bay Area, Larry Robinson (www.robinsoninlays.com). He had done the inlay work on the C.F. Martin 750,000th and 1,000,000th guitars and I sent him an email to see if he knew anyone who could do a little work for me. His answer both shocked and excited me to no end. He could do the work for me right then. I had a design, but Larry had a few ideas of his own. Given my budget constraints, I told him how much I had to work with and then just left it to him to do that voodoo that he do so well. Two weeks later I got back the guitar that you see in the pictures. I did have to take it back to Doug Roomian in San Francisco for final finishing and buffing (face has been refinished with 8 coats of clear high-gloss polyurethane), but this is what I got. Tell me what you think of the changeover.

What kind of guitar and where on it? Thank you for sharing.
