That inlay looks so Asian.
It's a very handsome guitar.

That guitar looks well executed and is the evidence of a considerable degree of skill that your friend's possesses and that was certainly not a sophomore effort. Has he been building guitars for a few years now?

Thank you!
We bought the already inlaid fretboard from China. It's confirmed to be real ebony, though. Also, we are Asians. Last edited by madmichael; 01-05-2020 at 11:49 AM. |

We are Filipinos, btw. I'm just lucky to have one of his prototype ones. Cost me well under 1,000$. Just about paid for the materials. |
