The Chetboard

I was trying to find a certain logo and came across this head stock, but the page it was tied to had no information on the guitar. I am curious as to what the rest of the guitar looks like... Looks like a doctor made it by the signature.

Looks like a luthier's one of a kind art pieces.

There are a lot of botique builders alll over the world right now.

Unusual looking saddle as well, not only the arty headstock. Must take a lot of extra time and money to produce that one. Very special and well done.

"Just because she's pretty doesn't mean she can cook."

Wonder how it sounds?

Back in the old days Washburn made a lot of pretty guitars but they didn't wear well and were mostly "parlor" guitars kind of like the Martin series

"Just because she's pretty doesn't mean she can cook." Good point. My Martin D28 looks simple enough but plays very well. By the way, I´m my own best cook.

Looks like Leeland Sklar signature.

I believe it's one of the "Dingwall" signature model solid bodied guitars.

Would seem odd for a world class studio session bass player(Leland Sklar) to have a 6 string signature model guitar associated with him.

Anywhoo Jay, the guitar in question is an Artinger Custom:

Not sure if the link will take you directly to it, so if not click on "Gallery" and go to Gallery 54. I don't think it's the exact same guitar but close enough.

I believe you're correct Randy...that sure looks like the same design of headstock. Regarding the "association" with Leland Sklar however, I've learned that in the musical instrument business, nothing should be considered odd! For example, I seem to recall back in the "dark ages", Gretsch manufactured a "Chet Atkins" signature...double cut, Country Gentleman, BASS guitar! Looked just like the regular six string Gent!

It's all about the money...

Speaking of odd things, don't forget about the "Gibson Chet Atkins signature flatpick"
