Best inlay ever thread

[Murdstone]

I think if you have a thread like this you have to start by mentioning Larry Robinson, then about 50 images later you can start to bring in some other guys. He's not well known on these forums since he mostly gets commissioned for high end acoustics, but unbelievably detailed inlays.

[Insert fretboards here.]


One of the only guys that can inlay faces that actually maintain some personality:

And yes, some of his stuff is really gaudy, but customers ask for what they ask for.

These are beautiful but it's gotta be close to this point where it stops being inlay and just becomes a fretboard

I'm not sure, but they're on here in an NGD thread. I don't even remember who has that, at this point, but I'll google around tomorrow and if I find something I'll come back in and edit this post....

Someone look up PRS Private Stock cities, they have some cool inlay. I'm too lazy.

Cool! Bored with it yet? I've got a special bank account I opened just to keep money safe for the day you put it FS. It's called "Money for that sweet-ass guitar Dylan made." So, you know, hit me up when you're ready!

Builder- "Hey.. Uh, what body wood do you want?"
Whoever owns that guitar- "yeah, Uh, Just give me a tile floor that'll be okay."

If you like Zemaitis guitars check out Teye guitars too

The Zemaitis? They're hugely expensive, but out of collectibility, not labor. The Japanese company that bought the reproduction rights puts out similar pearl tops for between $4-6k, while the originals are upwards of $60-90k.

I like them for the metal engraving. It's all Danny O'Brien's work, at least in designing and doing the engravings on original Zemaitis and the prototypes. I like what Teye's done with manufacturing his own hardware for just about all aspects of his guitars, but the gypsy-style engraving just doesn't jive.
