Below is a interesting before and after picture. A client of mine purchased a partially restored Gibson EB3. Well ... maybe restored is not exact word I'd use ... how about partially destroyed. :-) I wasn't really sure what the last guy was trying to do, but yuck. What is up with that Gibson logo? I found some scratches in the shell, so maybe he though he could etch it after the fact. This is why you don't have your inlay work done by just anybody. Anyways ... I retopped the headstock in ebony and then inlaid a nice Gibson logo and a Grateful Dead Steely. I would say that is a marked improvement.

Minarik Guitar Custom Inlay Headstock		 This inlay is simple (compared to most of my stuff), BUT this fretboard was done for "Lemmy" from Motorhead. It was a prototype for a new Signiture guitar beinging inlay for Minarik Guitars. How cool is that.
Simple, but awesome. This is called a Merkaba and is basically four intersecting triangles. It's made with three different types of lapis and clear turquoise. I know it looks like a PRS headstock, but it's a Warmoth. The piece was commissioned by Mark Robertson of Tampa, FL. Mark commented, That looks GREAT! You did a fantastic job. I can’t wait to wait to refinish the headstock and put the guitar back together. I got back from Miami yesterday so go ahead and ship tomorrow. Thanks again (Great job)
