Remind me at the McJam and I will show you how Neil.

Next week we will be ready to introduce the Memphis Knight's guitar.

It actually has nothing to do with castles or Knights.

[David Wren]

Such cool details (as always!)

[Too Many Guitar]

I hope it's early next week!

[Tim McKnight]

Another look at the Knight standing on his head????





Any guesses as to what this inlay might be?

[drive-south]

Elvis the knight?

Thank you very much!

I'll bet anything but my McJam Guard Dog that the middle piece is osage orange. The outer ring and the McKnight logo? I'll take a stab at cherry.

<cringe> Am I even close?!?

[Tim McKnight]

The inside section is indeed Osage Orange. The outer portion of the circle is Pernambuco though it does resemble Cherry but slightly more amber/orange-ish. Do you have any idea what the circular shape is part of, in the grand scheme of things?

[Berf]

I'll take a pot shot.... a vinyl record?

Looking great Tim.

Cheers, berf

[SJ VanSandt]

45 rpm vinyl.

[Tim McKnight]

Berf and SJ,
You're guesses are VERY, VERY close ...






So, if its a record, what does the label say???

How about, "Knights In White Satin?"

No, but that is a good guess.
