              Within the body of almost every acoustic guitar is a note from the maker. You have the opportunity to let some steam off and immortalize yourself there, on a small area. I like to compare it to a wine bottle label since [...]

              Rhine Shell Inlay

              To me, there is a distinct appeal in being able to accurately express my surroundings through my instruments. The decision to embellish guitars with inlays holds a unique place in this regard. And not with some imported abalone shell [...]
