I asked for them to start with a traditional sidebar inlay, but wanted the shape modified in some way.\u00a0 I am after a simple, repeating shape that stays clear of the center of the fingerboard, and this wedge is Alembic\u2019s starting point.\u00a0 The 12th fret features my initials bound in an oval of sterling silver.\u00a0 The guitar\u2019s name tag will be up at the 24th fret (it is misplaced in this picture, and won\u2019t say \u2018DE\u2019.)<\/p>\n

I am expecting several revisions of this design, but I don\u2019t think it will be drastically different.\u00a0 The wedge shapes will change, and I\u2019ve asked that the oval be skewed to neatly fit between the two inlays of the 12th fret.<\/p>\n

Materials-wise, the fret markers (with the exception of frets 12 and 24), as well as the \u2018CJ\u2019 initials will be black Tahitian mother-of-pearl.\u00a0 The inlays at the 12th, 24th, and tulip-end of the fingerboard will probably be the more traditional white mother-of-pearl.<\/p>\n

I should have some new drawings later today to mull over.\u00a0 I\u2019ll post them here so you can see its evolution.\u00a0 Meanwhile, a materials mockup of the medallion has been promised to me shortly, so hopefully I\u2019ll have all the inlay decisions made in the near future and they can start the cutting!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
