Description:
San Francisco: Backbeat Books, 2003. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright, unclipped dust jacket. INSCRIBED BY LASKIN on the title page. For more than 30 years, Grit Laskin has been building guitars, and his striking inlay work places his instruments in a class all their own. He is credited with single-handedly taking the ages-old tradition of musical instrument inlay from its purely decorative roots into an art form, a means of expression. In his hands, shell, stone, legal ivory and metal emerge as the palette of a re-invented medium. A sumptuous, full-color-throughout, coffee-table quality tome, this is the first book to document the breadth of his work and the techniques he has devised. Clean copy. Record # 373279
