Jim Soloway Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I picked these up as a set yesterday. Some folks seem to think they're a little too flashy. I think they'd look nice with a mother of toilet seat binding. http://jimsoloway.com/Photos/GuitarProject/DecoMarkers.JPG www.solowayguitars.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revolead Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I think they'd look go on an LP Ultima or something. Maybe a high-end archtop. Not on a Strat or something though. Jim - Try adding abalone binding around a black or dark red body like on a Schecter C-1 Elite. Then I don't think they'd look too flashy for your Swans. Shut up and play.

Caevan O’Shite Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Well, you're talking about using them on your baritones, right? I'm having a hard time reconciling the two images together; the inlays, and your bari's, that is. If I were ordering one, I'd ether go with no inlays whatsoever (mayebe sidedots, though), or just nice pearl or abalone dots. Just my two-cents!

Just my two-cents!Just to clarrify, they are long scale guitars (27"), but they're not baritones. They're design specifically to be able to be tuned to standard pitch. And yes, they'll go on one of mine. I'm doing a few guitars right now that are much more elaborate: exotic tops, binding & purfling. The necks are actually built with no inlays and we add them at the very end, hopefully after an order has been taked and the customer specifies what they want. But these are going to go on one with a ot of flash: mother of toilet seat binding and heringbone purfling. I don't know if it will be one of the 6 strings that's being buit to sell or the 7 string that we're building for me. That will depend on how people respond. www.solowayguitars.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dak Lander Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Jim, I think, on one of your axes those inlays will look great with the right fingerboard material, hardware, and, I think, a very high gloss finish. Along with that you might have to add something in the same vein to the headstock. As nice as your logo is I'm not sure if it will fit with those inlays. 'Course you could do your logo in it's original style but in that same material. Lotta flash there in any case.

Shoes Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Royal JAZZ! These would look great on a big semi or hollow picker. On ebony with a complementary matching crown affair headstock plate, binding to boot and might even pull your eyes away from Diana Krall on stage. How'd Elvis manage that snag? nice stuff. ? What's your inlay routing setup? I still think guitars are like shoes, but louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
