All tooled up now. The ebony arrived coated in what appears to be candle wax! I haven't worked out the easiest way to remove it yet any ideas welcome. My tech is going to cut the block into four pieces.

Its a great guitar but might be too big for you, the only way to be sure is to try it.

I just had some pine lying around, I'm waiting for some ebony to be delivered. Probably also a good idea not to waste my first efforts on ebony.

I thought I would learn to inlay during quiet times in my store. I will post some progress photos as I go along. The shell hasn't arrived yet so I started with the routing. I am quite pleased that by attempt 17 I was making some progress, still some way to go. I am using Larry Robinson's excellent book and CD and a few tips from Grit Laskin.

Its a great loss. Gustav was a fantastic guy and made amazing guitars.

I agree with this "Taylors I've played have been nice, well-made guitars with a good sound - a bit brighter and more modern-sounding (to my ears) than Martins"
For this reason I no longer take Taylors as part exchanges or trade-ins. Martins usually sell quickly and IMHO have more character.
