Hi everyone.
Strange one this but I am hoping one of you might be able to assist in my search for something quite unique.......a Masonic Guitar!
I have had look on the 'Net, eBay, etc.. but so far no joy.
What I'm after is a "regular" guitar (acoustic or electric) but one that has Masonic symbols, etc... perhaps embedded somewhere along the neck, or on any part of the body.
I've toyed with the idea of simply placing certain symbols on an existing guitar but if there's one specifically and purposefully made I would like to get me hands on it.
Any ideas?

Leo,
Going off the price that anything with Masonic symbols attracts you might be better off finding a craftsman to create your own.
I will speak to a friend of mine who is into marquetry as one of his hobbies, and see if he knows someone over in your part of the world.

Thanks Mick, that's probably a better way to go. I did receive some wonderful tips over on NOS but due to some distractions I haven't as yet followed through on any of them.
Be interesting to see what your friend comes up with. Thanks.

Hi Leo, I have a friend who is a musician and a leatger craftsman. He often makes leather scratchplates with anything you want engraved on them. Click on the link and go to the guitar page. He also makes some other great individual items. www.montanaleather.co.uk/leather/leather-index.htmlIf your interested drop him an e-mail and mention my name. i'll be seeing him at the weekend.

Very interesting. I just has a quick look at his website and I have to say I am impressed with what he's done. I will drop him an email later and see what we can come up with. Thanks Bob.
