Here are a
few examples of custom inlay designs I have accomplished for my clients over the
years. These inlays have been created by Larry Robinson or Harvey Leach. These
two craftsmen are universally regarded as perhaps the two finest inlay artists
in the world today. Many of my clients choose to have either Larry or Harvey do
the inlay work on their Ryan guitar. I have made the process of ordering an
inlay from these artists as simple as can be.

details.
Also, I now
wish I had catalogued the many inlays these fellows have done for me over the
last decade or so. So if you happen to have an inlay on your Ryan guitar that
was done by them, I would really appreciate a nice jpeg of the inlay so I can
post it here with the others in the Inlay Gallery.
If you are
interested in a custom inlay, please use these examples to ignite your
creativity or visit their websites. The sky is the limit. |

If a client
wants something unique or designed by himself, then I use one of two inlay
artists here in California;
Larry Robinson or
Harvey Leach, who are considered
two of the finest in the world. They inlay for me all of my one-of-a-kind
inlays and anything out of the ordinary. The cost of these inlays, of course,
depends on complexity, amount of shell used and where the inlay goes (fretboard,
headstock, bridge). For these custom inlays, I have the client contact Larry or
Harvey directly and then they exchange drawings, faxes, ideas and so forth to
confirm a design and price. Then I send them your fretboard at the appropriate
time, they inlay it and then it is sent back to me. This method assures that
there is not a ‘third party’ (me) in the design phase where confusion can
happen. And then the client is responsible for paying Larry or Harvey
directly. This works the best for everyone and keeps things straightforward and
simple. Larry’s phone number is (707) 829-2446. Harvey’s number is (530)
477-2938. If you contact them, be sure to tell them you are one of my clients.
I send a lot of inlay work to them and they therefore treat my clients grandly! |
