Inlay of the majestic bird belted kingfisher, found on the coast of the Pacific Northwest. Thank you Ray for the opportunity, this was very fun to create. Materials used are black and white mother of pearl, reconstituted stone and Macassar ebony and patience, lots of patience… .

This well used banjo got a sweet conversion- it became fretless and proud! Also got a scoop on the fingerboard for better strumming action and it’s such a fun instrument!

This Les Paul had a missing inlay and we replaced it with a custom made piece, engraved with a black widow. Happy Friday the 13th!

Finished an inlay restoration/customization on a mid 30’s National Silvio mandolin. The block inlays were not original and poorly cut. Perfect for putting in a custom flare on it. Not often we get to coolify a pre war instrument! It also received a new bone but and a clear pick guard.

EVH replica stopped by for a setup. This was a fun project to work on and chuckle about. “I can’t believe Eddie had this or that, this way on his guitar” was a frequent line we used while working on it 😆 Here’s John showing of the beauty and intrigue of this creation

A fun repair- a guitarrón needed the action lowered, so we had to pull out the big tools 😉

This awesome Explorer payed us a little visit recently. We did a set up and installed an unbleached bone nut, and it matches the golden theme of the guitar so perfectly!

One of luthier’s worst nightmares- broken screws! Fortunately we had a solution to extract this one, phew!
