Hi Rich, the white inlays are mother of pearl, the black inlays are ebony, and the white inlay around the 4 hearts on the butt of the body is rock maple.
The hearts inside the ody as reinforcing are spruce.
Thanks for looking Taff
Hi Taffy, I was looking at the inlay work and its beautiful. Is that 'mother of pearl' or a powder / acrylic inlay
Thanks for taking the time to put that slideshow together - it's really interesting. It's a fantastic looking instrument and I can only admire the complexity, accuracy and finish of the build. It's inspired me to go and have a look at basic inlay techniques. Nice work !
Taffy, those hearts and heart sound hole are nice touches, The rosette is fine work, but I liked it unadorned as well. Oooh, nice X bracing. It's cool to see this exacting process. WOW on the binding. And the end product looks amazing, I would love to sample it.
At my skill level (both building and playing ) and my tool and workshop levels, I am sticking to simple, poor man's guitars. I am working on improving my six string play. If I get adept at what I am trying to learn, I may someday reward myself with a nice factory six. Maybe a Taylor Mini GS.
Good on you and what you do.
Denbo said it Taffy. Wow! Real Luthiery.
