Inlay

Guitars can be absolutely beautiful but usually the beauty is in the wood or in the functional form of the instrument. There are exceptions, however, and clients seem to love something a bit extra. My concert model and the Santos are decorated quite simply but the Torres SE 153 is pretty flashy. Another model that I used to make, a copy of Antonio de Lorca García used mother-of-pearl inlays in the bridge as well. Its something that takes some skill but really draws the eye. I like it but would never put it on all of my guitars. Furthermore I use MOP almost only when making my exact copies.
