A Guitarmaker's Canvas: The Inlay Art of Grit Laskin

Grit Laskin has been building guitars for more than 30 years. Among his guitars' many outstanding qualities is their striking inlay art. Laskin is credited with creating a bold new art from the age-old tradition of musical instrument inlay. In his hands, shell, stone, legal ivories, and metals emerge as the palette and brushes of a re-invented medium. This is the first book to document the breadth of his work and the techniques he has devised. 200 color photographs are featured.
