HI,
Anyone know how many headstock Inlays Wendy does in a year?
I got a Mermaid headstock inlay and can't help wondering how many of these were ever made?
***I stiill got so much to learn***

Larrivee OMV-10E (Mermaid headstock inlay)
Larrivee D-60
Martin D-42K2 All Koa
Taylor JDCM All Koa
Taylor K-20-C All Koa
Taylor PG-LTD Myrtle
....and many more Electric guitars

They are made on larger paper then dupli-carved to 3:1 scale.  Yes they are done by hand, but not exactly with an xacto knife.

Edit... Or so I remember from somewhere.  Dont quote me on it though.
Larrivee LSV-05
Larrivee LV-09FM
Larrivee CS-30
Yamaha Chronos LL-16
Yamaha Pacifica 112J
Martin LX-1
Fender American Stratocaster Delux
Fender Mexican Stratocaster
Fender Mexican Telecaster
Rivera Sedon

Supposedly Wendy is retired, and isn't making them any more. Of course, the term 'not available' usually means, wait a while and we'll make some more later.

I don't know if Larrivee kept any numbers on the various headstock inlays that were done. All of them are rare, relative to the total number of guitars sold.

They might use CNC now.

If it sounds good, it is good.

Thanks, the picture's a few years old but that's me right after I got my OM-03MT. I'm a pretty good dancer as you can tell.

I thought you were "Super CAT" and you were about to stomp some bad dog.
