Hello, Since we're in the mood of shout outs to sponsors... I received the first round of headstock veneer inlays from Andy last week along with the ultimate fret cauls. I put the Padauk head plate on today. Fabulous work, Andy!!  Brad Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

People who have names with guitar-like first letters have an unfair advantage.  Very cool logo. |

My initials are CBC so the C shape of the oval and B shape of the guitar worked out well. Plus my wife is a really great artist and whipped up the logo in illustrator. Andy was able to take the output from illustrator and import into the CNC software (or something like that  ).Brad |

I was faced with making some 'art deco' logos for a new trim scheme on my J model. I do all my own inlay, design, cut and inlay, but... I needed symmetry and precise cutting on the logo. I do OK normally but I knew doing this myself would mean the end of me. So, I turned to Andy. He did a brilliant job, far better than I could ever do. He made me 3 or 4 of the inlays and I wish I had asked for more. It has become a popular scheme. Here is one of the logos he did for me. |

I think (know) Andy's shell work is the bomb. |

Andy has done some phenomenal work for me including guitar & ukulele necks, bridges, fretboards and inlayed headplates. He is a pleasure to work with and a genius with Solidworks CAD design. Having him as a neighbor and good friend is my lucky fortune as well! Mike Franks www.mjfranksguitars.com www.facebook.com/mjfranksguitars |
