Title: Arlene Goulart's Unbelievable Inlay Work
Post by: oddmetersam on January 28, 2013, 11:54:07 PM

While at the NAMM show I checked out Minarik guitars and met their phenomenal inlay artist, Arlene Goulart. She does jaw-dropping work.

My Going to NAMM Next Week thread includes a public link to photos I shot while there and includes several Minariks, if you haven't already seen the album:

That is absolutely beautiful.  I'm afraid to even ask what that must cost. Wow!!!

Hey, Rami
According to Minarik's catalog, base prices start at $3,299 for most models. Of course, they won't look like this. And no telling for a Trinity triple-neck, as in one of my other shots....
 
I took this on the opening day when the booth wasn't crowded, but I should have spent an hour or two just chronicling all the fantastic guitars they brought. The flash doesn't do these things justice.
