That Crazy Horse Inlay Daemoness Build Thread

[b7string]

I'm sure some of you follow Daemoness on facebook and are wondering wtf is up with that blue guitar?

Well today you shall have answers, in picture format. I must apologize in advance, I've been hoarding these, but I have not had time to make a proper thread until now. And without further ado...

Finish Time!!!

Please ignore that lovely green attention seeking instrument above mine for now... (Although its really really cool too)

Credit on these next 6 pictures goes to Nolly, who posted them to facebook.

Now shit gets serious... The inlay. This is sleipnir, as I'm sure some of you will recognize.

And for the rest of us not totally versed in Teutonic Myth (me included):

"The mare that Svadilfare followed into the forest brought forth a cloud grey foal with eight legs. It grew up to be the swiftest steed in the nine worlds, and the name it bore was Sleipner." Teutonic Myth and Legend, Donald A. Mackenzie 1897.

^ I ripped this explanation from Dylan's facebook. Essentially, Sleipnir was the horse of Odin (I believe). And he has 8 legs, allowing him to run at incredible speeds. I wish I had 8 fingers on my fretboard hand but anyways. I sent Dylan a few references I dug up from google images, but he ended up creating his own interpretation, which resulted in what I deem to be the perfect inlay for this guitar. It blew me away when he sent me the pics, its better than every single image I found, and it just screams of quality. Enjoy!

And now it is very close to completion!

It doesn't get much more metal than Sleipnir! Awesome work as always from Dylan!
I'm jealous lol

Holy shit Dylan's work never stops amazing me. I kinda wish the inlay was sideways so that he could've kept most if not all of it but still. The natural binding he did on the top side of the body is absolutely incredible too; simple but so elegant. I am mad jelly, man.

So YOURE the bastard getting the guitar I fell in love with.

That disappearing binding is amazing. I love it. The inlay is ridiculous too.

That inlay, much like my ex in bed, is the closet thing to proof of God I've seen. Fuck me.

 

[Imbrium998]

Yeah...What Axe said. His Ex IS goo....oh wait. I meant....that f*cking guitar is absolutely crazy gorgeous!

I am 100% going to be plunking my $$ down and getting in line for mine!!

Grats...I hope you get it soon!!

What top is that? It has a really wavy 3D figure. I'm guessing some kind of Maple.
