    Default Looking to have some pearl inlay work done.

    I'd like to have a name inlayed into the truss rod cover of my Collings MT. Can you recommend someone who does this type of work?

    I've seen that Bruce Weber at Montana Lutherie offers that service. (NFI)

    Take it to a local trophy shop that has a laser. They can do it using a thin, plastic backed shell laminate. I've done a couple on my cnc but prefer the laser. Not a truss rod cover but an example of my inlay work.

    I’m having the work done by Bruce Weber. I’ll post a pic when it’s done. Very excited!
