Custom inlay galleries/inspiration?
Can someone recommend a site or gallery online for inlay ideas (besides google image search)? Thanks!

Jimi Wingert is among my favorite inlay artists. Some of my favorites are on her website, previously linked. My all time favorite is the Great Wave she did on one of Michael Bashkin’s guitars.

I try to use the recipient's personal history. This guitar was made for a friend who was a ship driver in the US NOAA Corps - and these inlays are the ships NOAA and its predecessors used throughout its history:

I have sometimes used the line patterns found in stained glass pattern books as well. There are some nice Florentine and other designs in those books.

Wow...that is really beautiful. That idea is where I think I’m headed for my (prospective) custom build. I’m thinking a different symbol for each of the fret markers, and most likely a bee on the peg head. (This is assuming I can get the builder to add me to his list..TBD).

And here is some inlay she did for me last year - if you do not want MOP this shows how she can also use dyed maple really well. Col |

With all due respect to everyone else listed here, I find Jimmi's work to be superior to everyone in terms of artistry and technique. Her stuff is flawless and gorgeous.
