The (heavy) drinker, I should think.
Chazmo said:Were the inlays that came from this German compan a Guild original design, or were they pre-existing designs that Carlo just chose to use for the F-x12 fingerboards? Anyway, fascinating stuff!
Chazmo said:As you noted with my '67 F-50R, the Guild guys did not create the laminate that went into the back and sides -- that came from a furniture manufacturer.
As capquest put it to me, when he went to the Hoboken facility to look at the F-50Rs, his impression was that this was a shop, not a factory.

Got it, Hans! Thanks for clarifying that for me!hansmoust said:Chazmo said:Ah, so they had the furniture place make the thin slices of the wood for them
No, not really. Veneer cutting is a specialized business that has nothing to do with the furniture business. The furniture industry was one of the users of these high quality veneers and so was Guild.

Right. It's a biotech firm.
:lol: :lol: Sounds like all my friends' parents and grandparents, when I was growing up on the East side of Cleveland! Funny Hans.hansmoust said:Hey folks,
Excuse me for not posting this in the 'funny' section but Carlo's accent just reminded me of this little story:
A bus stops and two Italian men get on. They sit down and engage in an animated conversation.
The lady sitting behind them ignores them at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears one of the men say the following: "Emma come first. Den I come. Den two asses come together. I come once-a-more. Two asses, they come together again. I come again and pee twice. Then I come one lasta time."
"You foul-mouthed sex obsessed swine," retorted the lady indignantly. "In this country we don't speak aloud in public places about our sex lives!"
"Hey, coola down lady," said the man. "Who talkin' abouta sexa? I'm a justa tellin' my frienda how to spella 'Mississippi'."
Maybe you need to read this twice!
Cheers!

Chazmo said:Definitely, FNG. That'd be the way to go. As we like to say in the sports car web sites... aftermarket!
In fact, Darryl, why don't you get in touch with marcellis... He seems to have a lead on some magnificent inlay artisans in Cambodia (I think).
