I know I haven't even finished one guitar yet,but for a long time I have been thinking about a headstock inlay. I would like to have a Highway 61 road sign in black and white pearl as a tribute to the Mississippi River-from Hibbing MN to Memphis,St. Louis in between and of course the Delta and New Orleans. Would any of our inlay specialists be willing to work on one with me? Maybe 1 1/8 tall. Thanks, Mike T.

I am sure you could cut one of these yourself. It sounds like a good first inlay project.

Mike, i can't wait to see some progress pics of your build my friend and the logo that will go on it. I should resume building soon, just finished installing the safety features on my buffer and did a huge clean up and rearrangement of my shop for the new season to come, count on me to encourage you to finish that build of yours!
