I dunno how much of this collabo guitar that Steve and I are making you guys have seen, (we have documented the build) but at any rate here is Craig Lavin's contribution. A fine looking rose.
Materials are pearl, in various shades, ivory, and silver dust in some veins.

A lovely rose. Craig is a great artist. Got any pics of the guitar? Thanks for sharing.

Wowser! That's the nicest part of the guitar, by far.
Maybe we should have gotten Craig to just build the whole thing.
Craig--that's stunning. I just love it.

Bruce--here's a shot from Tony's booth:



Walnut b/s, Adi top with curly maple bindings and paua trim.

Thanks for looking,
Steve

Oh, my, it's gorgeous. Hungry for more, wow, guys!

Who is this guitar for anyway?

Man, that's really nice! Fine job Craig and K-Bros!

Forgot to mention Craig's work! really beautiful rose by the way!

Thanks guys.
As soon as I get this all put together I will post a few more pics of the finished project.

Bro! Does that mean you have the neck back, now???
Oooweee, that would be sweet.
If so, slap (figuratively speaking) that baby together!

It should get slapped soon

Very Nice.

Let's leave it at it's was a pleasure to try to help.

I'm sitting here in my South Fl home with a dead AC unit.
The house is heating up, the repair guy isn't getting anywhere with it- and he's good, and he's really trying, and now I am facing the expensive task of needng a new one.

Anyone need any inlays? I am almost back to no waiting list again!


Thanks!
Craig

Keep the pictures coming! Its always great to see K-bros guitars and Craig's touch -- just an added bonus.

Craig -- hope you get your A/C issues sorted -- must be like living in a dog's mouth with the heat and humidity you are having. (If its any comfort -- it ain't any cooler in Toronto either).

Yeah Craig, same dog mouth feeling near Ottawa, i feel your pain even from here bud!

Thanks for the support guys.

They are installing a new one Tuesday.
Until then it's try to stay out of the house!

Craig
