Wow!
 The guitar in the Father/Daughter inlay seems familiar. And the headstock is amazing!

Superb and a great story behind its features.

Wow, beautiful guitar & extraordinary family heirloom.

Did anyone else notice the acoustic guitar has pointy bottom and an alembic logo on it too. Nice touch.

Bravo!

Incredible!

And I thought the inlays on the previous FC Fantasy were intricate.
 
It now appears that those were just the warm-up exercises for this one...
 
Holy ****....!
 
Seriously, is there another group of artists anywhere on this planet who could A. envision this concept and B. execute it with such breathtaking precision?
 
And, by the way, I'm sure the MUSICAL INSTRUMENT that is the framework for all of those inlays plays and sounds as amazing as it looks.

That inlaid logo is the most striking I've seen since Will Gunn's custom Essence! After some reflection, I think my favorite details are the unstrung harp inlay in the headstock, and the way the tailpiece mounted on an ebony(?) shim.
 
The whole thing is unimaginably clever. Just... amazing, really. Makes me think they might be bored by building my (purposefully) plain bass. =)

This is an AMAZING piece in every respect. I know this has been a LONG time coming. Susan described some of this guitar to me years ago, when we were still designing mine!
 
Congratulations on this build - all good things in all good time.

The inlaid logo is perhaps the nicest I have seen.  
 
Number of instruments that will feature amazing inlays currently in production. If you dream it they can make it happen.

I am completely speechless.

Just looking at Ripple again. There is just so much going on... and Mica deserves a big shout-out for the amazing pictures of all the details.
