For a 60's re-issue telecaster, body silver. Pick guard is Antarctic white corian,materials are red coral, sterling silver, black pearl, and ebony. Black into white isn't my personal favorite, but for going for a 60's "burnin' up the blues" look I think it comes close. Almost like a hot rodded raven, which was what the customer wanted. This is a new look for me... 
Thanks for looking. Craig L

....."Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore. "Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no craven, Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the Nightly shore Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!" Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore." ".... ~ Edgar Allen Poe Newsflash..... Pluto DOES exist...It's part of historic literature!
Craig, Very cool bird

Very nice work, please post a pic on the Tele when done so we can see the full effect of the Raven in its habitat. |

Really nice, Craig. Wow, inlaying into white takes a much steadier hand than I'll ever have. Very impressed. Ron |

To be appreciated, hopefully. I designed it fully with the guitar in mind. It's getting a bigsby tremolo as well, so it's a lot of silver/chrome and white, and has a old-style 50's hot rod flare to it. Once on the guitar it should all make sense. This piece also marks the most famouse player I have knowingly done work for, but I can't mention who until after they get it. This is a departure from my normally nature/realism looking work, so I was worried a lot about the entire thing working out. I am waiting on completed pics too! I will post them here when it's done.
