Hello Robin,
This looks really nice and I prefer my own instruments with a plain fretboard. No inlays or side dots. These inlays are really classy . Maybe someday I will have a custom inlays with tear drops running down the length of the fret board .

If I told you what I thought, my kid would have no lunch money for the next two years!!

I'm partial to the dolphin inlay and I feel that they look 100% better.

[BCRGreg]

YEAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!


NOW I can have my Avalon!

[charles e. heard jr.]

not bad, but since it's a texas product, i think robin should do more.... like...lone star flag inlays, or, howsabout....PEARL ARMADILLOS...? (i never quite understood the reason behind the dolphin motif...). keep up the good work dave....i'll be getting another robin someday!

[charles e. heard jr.]

ooo!...ooo!...ooo!....wait!....i got it! inlays in the shape of HANK HILL'S HEAD!.....BOU-YAH!

just a tho't.....

I think the Dolphin inlays are a referrence to the Gulf of Mexico being right next to Houston. I was out in the Gulf this past Saturday and saw 4 pods out there. I could be wrong about this, but it was the only thing I could think of!

Picture if you will,deep emerald green with an incredible bound quilt top.With a bound fingerboard adorned with the new inlays.Gold hardware with a bigsby! Avalon or Savoy,either one would suit me fine. Way to go guys.

I like the new design... simple always seams to to be timeless... but hey, then there's the Texas/custom possibilites that draws the eye and makes everyone go goo goo ga ga... man, vanity is a killer.... While we're at it, I think it would look cool, (and be a great branding idea), to engrave the Rio Grande insignia, RG, etc. on the nickle plated covers... sign me up for a set....

[BCRGreg]

THAT's a great idea!

[Smitty]

Greg, you gonna put that inlay on that quilttop Avalon body we were gawking over at the shop??

Smitty

[BCRGreg]

Greg, that guitar is way too good looking for you to play. I know you prefer beat-up guitars. You'll just have to give that guitar to me.

You can play it anytime that I am dead.

[DCWalters]

So that's what it was...hell I thought we were having an earth quake! I better get my dogs in...if they bite her they may end having heart attacks from all the cholesterol!

[Steve Clay]

Smitty - good call! How did you know that purple was Greg's favorite color?

OOOHHH - He's gonna LOVE IT!

[BCRGreg]

Shut up, Steve.

[Ken Jones]

As you know Greg, purple looks best on Rangers...

[DCWalters]

Patience is a virtue my friend!

[Ben B]

Greg, At least basic construction is done. Some of us still have to wait for wood!!! It must have been you who got the last of the quilted maple...

[Jack Kennedy]

Hey Greg ,
I am really stunned over that Beautiful guitar :-)
I must say that sometimes wife's and girlfriends have been known too get jealous over the attention we give our guitars.
Will you be giving this guitar a name ? :-)

"That friggin' Avalon" is good enough for me.
