I see several types of diamond inlay.
I needed to find matching inlay for an Emmons I was rebuilding and I found it at Constantines.  |

This wood inlay here came from Constantines as well.
Its a mica guitar with the wood inlay instead of the polished metal trim.

I ordered a couple of Williams guitars from Bill Rudolph.
I found the inlay I wanted at Constantines and sent it to Bill to use on the guitars.
It is the diamond patterned inlay with mother of pearl on each side.

Steve,
You need to get ahold of Bill Rudolph with Williams guitars. Both of those guitars are Williams. |

| I will do that this summer, Erv. If you have any photos you can send of the first one shown here I'd appreciate it. Is the white material lining the diamonds real mother-of-pearl or the a plastic pearl looking substitute? Thanks, Steve |

Steve,
I'm sure it's the plastic kind.
I got all my inlay for those guitars from Constantines so it's whatever they had.
I can post a couple more pictures for you.
You'll maybe notice the Fessenden fretboards, I really like Jerry's fretboards, I have them on several guitars.

Dave,
Thanks!
Yes, the Rudolph boys know how to build a beautiful guitar. Also, they don't charge any extra for a lacquered finish, in fact, the finish is better than lacquered.
It is a super hard finish that is practically damage proof. |
