Brock,
I was just admiring your avatar.
Have we seen close-ups of that instrument?
Or (ahem) could we...again (if that's the case)?

1 Q.- What is that overlay material? It's beautiful.
And the overall look just says "Buy Me...I'm Great".

Thanks,

Steve

Thanks. Sure, you have seen this before. It is the orange topped git. The head plate is Madrose -- I love that stuff. :)

I have always loved that guitar and will again suggest that you call it an "amber burst" it just sounds better to me then orange...... So shame on you Brock and with your marketing background too........... :D

Oooh, that's pretty!
Do you have a close-up of the headstock?

(Sorry to be such a bother.)

That top treatment is great! It's like a burst but you can hardly make it out!

It must be great because, in bursts, I really like it when you can't make it out at all! :D :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's real nice seeing that guitar again! Hey why don't you post a pic of that Madonna guitar again, while your at it! Has anybody told you you do good work Brock!

Thanks guys.

I will see if I can cook up a high res version of that headstock. I have the original at about 12 Megapixels, but I have to find the file... I am sure I can crop a nice close up.

Here are a few shots of the Madonna guitar.

Wow! I love that headstock inlay Brock!....and the guitar is a beaut too!! 8-)

Being new here, I haven't seen it before. Please could you tell me a little about the inlay materials you used for this? I can see what I think is black MOP (the shaddow under her chin), but the white for her skin looks too white and clear for white MOP to me, and her teeth are super-white! Her hair looks like it might be gold MOP. How did you do her eyelid?

We need the clapping smilie back!

Cheers,
Dave F.

Actually, Craig Lavin did the inlay on this. I was just totally blow away by his work.

He is amazing.

Honestly, I don't know what all the materials are, I do know that there is a big write up on that in Guitarmaker #52 if you have one laying around. If not, I might be able to locate a copy.... somewhere... :oops:
