If this was the only guitar in the house would you play it.  It reminds me of a  story. My dad ,brother, and I were contractors. We would alwise steal my mothers shovel when we needed one in a hurry and never bring it back. Than one day when we bought a shovel or two , we bought an extra one for mom. My brother took it home and painted it pink, and inset into the handle several large rinestones. that was 20 years ago....... and it's still in her garage. Flathead  This guitar is that shovel. flathead.

:ohmy: Inlays carved into the top?  "beautifull and deliberate run-out" how's that for a new promo-feature on selling guitars? - Almost puked myself.... :yak: :yak:

ill agree- the owner of Grizzly tools is a very talented man - but his tastes , i question - he builds very ugly guitars !

These blueberry guitars are ugly as well -thou the one with a Bat Carving and inlays didnt seem that bad . :wacko:


The "butterfly" reminds me of the tatooed lady in a side show. Hope it plays better than it looks. :wacko:

I'm not a big fan of inlay but Grit Laskin sure makes some nice guitars.

That's the 1st headstock inlay I've seen that I actually like and even might not mind if it were on my guitar.
