Custom inlay work

006 · 02-24-2006, 01:27 PM

Besides LGM, which currently only accepts elaborate shell work, and full custom guitar from scratch orders, who else out there does custom inlay work? I remember seeing a site with a guitar that had a full on Egyptian motif to it on the body, like a gigantic King Tut on the body, and a neat desert scene for the inlay on the neck. I don't want anything that fancy, just something simple. Anyone have any suggestions?

99% sure that's the RG-EGYPT. Kevan will surely be in here to confirm or deny this.

Craig Lavin is an inlay artist who posts a lot over at projectguitar. His work is STUNNING.

And the RG Egypt has heiroglyphics on it, not a portrait of King Tutankhamun.

Actually, it wasn't an Ibanez, or an RG for that matter Drew. It was a custom made guitar, much like a PRS in the body style. They had quite a few similar ones with the Egyptian motif, all custom made designs. Thanks darren, I'm checking that guy out right now.

Why don't you ask him instead of asking us?
