Sorry, these aren't guitars - they're belt buckles. But the skier one is made from a salvaged EIR fretboard, and the other one is made from a fretboard cutoff! Attachment: LewBuckleSmall.jpg Attachment: LewBuckleSmallSide.jpg Attachment: BikeGirlBuckleSmall.jpg Attachment: BuckleOn.jpg Cheers |

Thanks, guys. Chris, I'm finding out that there's a lot more people who are into them than I would've ever thought! |

What a brilliant idea. I like them heaps. Not much of a belt buckle place that I live in, as most everyone is in shorts, singlets and thongs. Do you make the metal fittings, or is there some place that sells those supplies? |

Thanks again, guys. I actually got the idea for making the buckles from my old mentor, Bruce Clay, about 5 years ago, so I can't take credit for that. Allen, I don't know about you, but I wear a belt with my shorts too! The bike girl is adapted from an old French painting. |

If I wore the girly buckle I'd get a belt from my wife! |

Mike does some awesome inlay work. He is currently teaching an inlay class at Red Rocks and I am trying to talk him into doing an online version of his inlay class. He makes it look so easy! |

Robbie, you're too kind! Thanks. Craig, the hair is Tiger Eye recon stone. Rene, I got the hardware from a guy I apprenticed with long ago. Not sure where he got them, but I'm running low, so I need to find out! |
