Hi guys.
Here is an "easy on the eyes' piece. Simple in visual impact, but over 30 pieces or so of sterling silver, pink mussel, gold pearl, red ab heart, and red abalone.
It's in remembrance for a mother passed on recently on a heritage sweet 16 archtop tailpiece.
Thanks for looking as always.
More soon- it's been busy round here, but as soon as I get the next two done I have no waiting list again. Anyone need Cristmas gifts?

Listen to the doctor, Craig. He knows what he's talking about. Amazing, again.

Craig,

    Beautiful work. I've inlaid over 125 roses of different designs in different
places on guitars and really love them. I actally inlaid a dozen roses in a
single guitar about ten years ago. It was a guitar that I built as an
anniversary present from a husband to his lovely bride.

Nice Work,
Kevin Gallagher/Omega Guitars

I love it buddy! I like the roses. Very tasteful and pretty. The MOP is sure shimmery.

Gorgeous work, Craig. I've got a project for you ... A 50th wedding anniversary guitar. I'll email you with the design ideas.

I won't be able to stop!
It's always an honor when good people with sincere talent compliment one's work, and I love your work.
It's as unique as any other inlayer's work out there, AND you build beautiful guitars!!??
Maybe one summer you can teach me how to build guitars for my inlays! I would love to learn.

Thanks to everyone else as well. My favorite part of this one is the rose, and the way the pink mussel acts with the light. It really shines. Pink mussel has this way of looking almost white, to pink. It's very subtle without looking overley feminin at times (this was for a male).

Thanks!
Craig
