I wish I could take credit for doing the handy work but I purchased it about 2 years ago. Since I'm still trying to develope my Luthier skills, I thought it would serve a good purpose in the hands of one of you Pros. This way it would get onto a guitar faster. I paid $155 for it.
It's made of premium Genuine Ebony...the best I've ever seen...really tight grain and smoooooth.
Made with top grade MOP and Paua shells from New Zealand.
There's some yellow MOP too!!
Although it's a bit fancy, I'm sure when it gets on a guitar someone will love it. I hope.
This is a GREAT Forum with wonderful people (Family).
I am eternally grateful for everyone's help when I needed it. I will offer more inlay goodies in the future if you all like them. It's the least I can do for you since I'm not ready to give advice about building guitars.
A special thanks to Lance for all his generous help and assistance to all of us...what a guy!!
Walter

That's a work of art!

Is the buyer supposed to cut fret slots into it? I'd be way to scared to go anywhere near it with tools.
