Check These Inlays!

WayneCustom7 · 02-16-2006, 08:50 AM

Wow I just realized Cnada has some pretty unique guitar builders. In fact right here in Ottawa there's a custom shop, and I'm trying to see if he'll build sevens, or even an eight! Anyway back on topic, check out this dudes handy work, his inlays are truly beautiful, and the description as to how he does it seems incredibly difficult.

Wow!

Canada has a wealth of great luthiers. Grit Laskin is world-renowned for his inlay work. Other names to check out include Linda Manzer, Jean Larrivée, George Rizsanyi

Yeah, those Larrivées are beautiful.

Another couple of acoustic builders to check out:
Oskar Graf (builds 7-strings, Don Ross plays a 7-string custom from him, sounds amazing)
Beneteau Guitars (Don Ross' main 6-string guitars are all from Beneteau: both standard scale and baritone)

(Check out this video to see what Don Ross is all about)

Dude, please don't link to that image! Some of us work for the US Government, who doesn't understand the difference between art and porn.

Come on man I work for the government also, although on the municipal level, and that isn't a work hazard at all!

Yeah, but you're in Canada. I work for the US Federal Government, one block away from the Capitol building. Did you notice who our president was? Yes, they ARE that anal here.

I work at the Department of Labor, so they absolutely do not discriminate. There are tons of longhairs, skinheads, and pierced/tatooed freaks here. There is this old biker who I run into in the hall every so often. He's bald and has a ZZ Top thing going on. He calls me Little Beard.

Sounds like a cool bunch of people.

Some of them look cool, but some of them look like a crayon accident at a nursery...

Nice inlays, nice works of art.

Roland777 · 02-16-2006, 12:53 PM

Certainly skilled craftsmanship - although a lot of the inlays are really tacky. As inlays.

Mastodon · 02-16-2006, 01:50 PM

Now that's art!
Must be awfully expensive to make.

Canada has nothing on the US as long as we have Jim Soloway.

The Django one is the best...but naked goddesses are very nearly as cool, and nicer to look at
