Smile My R Taylor 'Aslan' Cover

Well, after a good 5wks wait, my commissioned 'Aslan' TRC has arrived, and I absolutely LOVE it. Inlayed with white, gold & black mother of pearl & some serious etching work. The pics don't do it justice. Cliff has done it again yeehaw

The artist is Cliff Suttle @ Sharkinlays (http://www.sharkinlay.com/). He's actually a fellow member here too, but you'll have better luck contacting him direct via his site

Looks great Reagan...are you down to just the R Taylor? (Not that "just" an R Taylor is anything to be upset about)...

Hey Tony, yep that's all I've got left. It's bittersweet.

Default Beautiful guitar...

but I have to say the custom TRC is a little garish. Don't get me wrong it looks very well crafted but I like my guitars plain and unadorned.

Most importantly if you like it then that's a result
