When I was a young man I met a quite accomplished guitarist who had one
of the best-looking guitars I had ever seen. The contours of the guitar
were some relatively standard solid-body shape. But the front surface
had a picture of a sailing ship in intricate detail, not painted on, but
inlaid, each shade a different kind of wood. A beautiful piece of work.

Better yet, the guitarist had made it himself.

Nice ... but how did that guitar look to you on the radio/over
headphones/speakers/in the car?



Your ears are just too old to hear that special "marquetry" tone. But
its there, man ... it's *there*. Oh, and you need Six-Nines Oxygen-Free
Copper for all your cables too.
