And More Truss Rod Covers

"The Patriot" is designed for a Taylor guitar and is made of a whopping 19 pieces of shell, stone, and mamoth ivory on rosewood. This cover is owned by Gary Ingram of Charleston WV. Gary Recently emailed me and had this to say about his new cover, "I wanted to let you know how great "The Patriot #1" looks on my Taylor 710CE. Your outstanding workmanship and materials really make this guitar look as unique as it sounds. I have played guitar professionally since the age of 10 and think your inlay work is the best I have seen. I teach science and have the GEE DUB GUITAR CLUB at George Washington High in Charleston WV. Hoping for more of your work for my other Taylors and other guitars. "

It is a beautiful and simple reminder of my son, and all the guitar lessons I planned on giving him from this guitar."

	Completing our Rock Star motif as of late, how could we leave out Stevie! I'd like to take credit for this design, but I can't.

This is what John had to say, "I just want to thank you for the awesome job you did and the great service you provided, it was a fun project! The workmanship is first rate and I really love that cool spotlight effect on SRV, nice!!! You recreated the design perfectly and really nailed what I was looking for.
