My new “DRAGON” Pedal Steel Guitar
 |
This is the new Dragon steel that was made
for me by Mark Giles at Star
Guitars in Texas.
We sent them the Claro Walnut for the body. Most Steels are
built with maple.
They sent us the body and neck. I inlaid the Fret Board on
the neck with White MOP, Paua Abalone and Red Abalone Heart.
We took the body to our workshop in Viet Nam. There, our best
inlay artist (Diep) did all the special inlays including the
Dragon on the front apron and my Name Logo.
After all the inlay work was finished we sent the guitar back
to Star
Guitars where Mark and his partner finished the instrument.
It is a real joy to play and to own.
It has 10 Strings, 4 pedals and 5 knee levers tuned to the
standard
“Nashville E9th”... Plays & Sounds great. |

The Stetson Guitar
by luthier Craig Sullivan of Norwood, MA.
This guitar was fetured in Guitar Maker magazine.
He used some of our inlays, but most were his own design and
work using our shell blanks.
You can find him on our “Local Luthiers Page”.... |

This is a guitar
built by Duy Ngoc who is a luthier in Saigon.
We asked him to build this to our specs for my life long
friend Karen who inspired me to play guitar.
When the guitar was almost finished we took it to our
work shop where our artists did the inlay work.
On the back are two traditional vietnamese designs by
our best man, Mr. Diep. |

I liked the way Bill used our Short Mandolin vine, Split it
in the
middle and put our Dove with Wreath in that place.
Cam Van designed Bill’s logo for this one. |

Beautiful Archtop guitar by

He used our Celtic Horse Peg Head Inlay with Pale

Craig Lavin's Inlays;
This is the first time
I have put up so many pictures

Inlay by Bernard Arnest
Bernard is a high school student. This is his first inlay
that he designed from a statue, then drew out on his computer
and cut out by hand. I am very impressed and think her
will become one of the best if he stays with it.
