INLAY & BINDING
Logos, tuner buttons and nut blanks are cut from the large Australian Mother of Pearl shell Pinctada maxima and sourced from the cultured pearl industry in the northern tropical waters of Australia.
Floral headstock inlays and fingerboard position markers are cut from Japanese Awabi (abalone) Haliotis madaka
Inlays are cut and inlaid by hand using a fine jewelers saw blade to cut both the shell and headstock veneer.
