The first time I ever saw an intricate inlay similar to Laskin's work was at a show in one of the local dives. One of the musicians had an acoustic on a stand with an image of a 40s style pulp-styled glam pinup - the kind you would see on the side of a B-52 bomber or something. I forget the band and their music, but I'll always remember the inlay on the headstock and how cool it was. Seeing this post really took me back. :) Thanks for that. Oddly enough, I stumbled across this blog looking for something totally irrelevant to this but, I recognized Charley's name and Argon Zark - and a realized it was from a book I've read numerous times (Webcomics...)
