From a cheap decal to a mother of pearl inlay
When my college roommate passed away, his wife wanted me to have his Martin guitar. I got a top repair shop to restore it. We decided to an inlay that duplicated a funky 1940s "smiling skull" decal from my favorite uncle's vintage Martin. (Probably cost 35 cents at the Jacksonville Beach boardwalk.) The request created a tough series of decisions caused by complex fabrication steps. With their expertise, Copyartwork led the way. The inlay was mother-of-pearl, harvested from a green sea snail shell! The guitar tech needed a black-and-white template to cut the shell. He was going to expand the original image many times on an industrial pantograph. I would hate to think what it would have been like without the stepping-stones that Copyartwork created, one after another! The work was beautiful, the bill was reasonable, the communication was tops.
