We believe Grit Laskin can do anything when it comes to inlay. He has made true works of art out of nothing more than a few pieces of abalone and mother pearl, depicting scenes of life and history. This little gem is called the “DIY (Do It Yourself) Vine”. It is in Sitka Spruce and Brazilian Rosewood and shows the all too familiar “Vine” inlay being assembled and destroyed by various craftspeople. As always Grit has executed this inlay flawlessly and with great taste, we love it. This instrument was featured as the demonstration of the inlay work in Grit’s book “The Guitar Makers Canvas: the Inlay Work of Grit Laskin.”
Not only is Mr. Laskin an inlay artist, he builds one of the finest guitars you are ever likely to come across. Every single motif in the construction has been executed with the utmost precision. The matching pair of Grit’s famed “Laskin Bevels” for the rib and arm rests make this one delightfully comfortable to play and hold and his refined florentine cutaway ensures both a classic look and ideal playability all the way up the fingerboard. As icing on the cake, Laskin guitars also sound incredible – you will find a full and even voice here with great warmth, perfect for fingerstyle playing. This is a true masterpiece, one that is equally suited to being played or displayed. An extremely collectible guitar, we just can’t give this one enough praise.
Grit never disappoints, everything about his guitars screams perfection. No matter what angle you take, be it build, voice, playability, feel or aesthetic, this one will simply take your breath away. 
Another work of art from Grit Laskin. I love the inlay pattern on this and the sound of it is nearly perfect. The tone is round and warm, yet crystal clear, just the way you'd want an acoustic guitar to sound. | Scale Length | 25.56 in |
