named Jett Bailey.

I met Jett due to circumstances where my wife works. What do you know he's another marine life guy! We got to know each other's work a bit, and I asked him to do this for me- it's cool being on the other end of a commissioned piece. Normally I'm the one working .

It's 60" by 40" - it's HUGE, I chose the spieces, and he did the rest. Oh- the lures and light organs are all glow in the dark paint, the piece lights up in the dark where the fish should in relative reality. It's awesome.
To see more of his work go to jettbailey.com
More inlay soon!

Quite a talent there.

So, Craig, are you going to turn these into inlays?

The back of my living sea guitar- but not as crowded.
yes, a headstock would be tight!

Wow, that's really, really nice, Craig. A lot of time went into that, I'm sure.

cut pieces.
It's my mst elaborate guitar to date.

It's also got rubies, opals, and emeralds in the truss cover, and is a lot of gold and silver in the inlay. I did it so long ago though that I doubt most of you guys here have seen it really. Hopefully one day it will get it's due.

Thanks,
Craig L.
