gracias amigo,,,muy buen trabajo,,otra pregunta haces guitarras,,

[jrs81570]

Did you just free hand rout the inlay? If so it looks pretty tight. (nice)

[WeepingZeeGuitars]

@jrs81570 I was free-hand routing to an outline, yes. I traced the logo first onto the wood and worked to the traced lines. Thanks.

I have a Les Paul project, it have's plastic inlays and I would like to install some nice pearl ones. I can remove them and send them to you or order some peaces of pearl from steward mac and build them my self, but I do not have the time right now. So how much?

[conjering]

Can you make some simple inlays for me?

[WeepingZeeGuitars]

@LONGWINDING Thanks Frank- There are some who take this to a real art form. Check out Grit laskin's work online if you want to be blown away.

Mike Vitale is a true master. Any guitar player should be honored to play one of his guitars.

[WeepingZeeGuitars]

@AustinHartleyLeonard Awwww, your just saying that because I forced you at gunpoint...

[0ldfinger]

It's so FIDDLY! Well it's actually a guitar but you know what I mean. Don't you wish you had picked like just a big square or something. Your patience does you credit, o merciless animal beater, and your skills remain sublime.

[WeepingZeeGuitars]

@0ldfinger I will eventually start a separate line called "Weeping Square Guitars" in your honor. I have been playing Blackbird over and over to prep for your upcoming guitar build. -MV

[0ldfinger]

@WeepingZeeGuitars Oh there's no rush. You did see the picture of the stove, didn't you. Where do you think the cash came for that!

[WeepingZeeGuitars]

@0ldfinger Uh Oh!

[0ldfinger]

@WeepingZeeGuitars Don't worry. I'll just go back on the game.
