Making your instrument personal is why I love to do hand crafted inlays. Beautiful abalone, mother of pearl, exotic woods, etc… cut into fine crafted symbols and memories that reflect you. The first guitar I built was my Jewels. It inspired me to start the Jewels collection of Dreadnought guitars in the RLM line. The fret board has a palm tree on the 3rd fret (for my oldest daughter), dolphin on the 5th (for my middle daughter), and a turtle on the 7th(for my youngest daughter). The collection is named after the Jewel of my life, my wife. This guitar means a lot to me… I play it the most out of all my guitars. Why not have inlays on your instrument that will mean something to you:)
