Robinson says “it’s not hard to do an inlay that ends up being worth more than the guitar.”

Larry Robinson is arguably the most famous custom inlay artist in the world—renowned for historic milestones like the Millionth Martin—his work significantly impacts the market value of high-end acoustic guitars.

Larry Robinson was chosen by CF Martin for historic C.F. Martin "Milestone" One-Millionth Martin Guitar. (estimated value - a one million dollar guitar - that's right $1,000,000)

Larry R did his first inlay in 1975. He now dedicates his entire professional life to Inlay Artwork.

Larry says: "It’s not hard to do an inlay that ends up being worth more than the guitar.” (PremierGuitar Interview,  Gayla Drake Jun 17, 2009)

A Larry Robinson inlay is valued by how much it elevates the price of a high-end luthier guitar.  Factory collaborations with elite luthiers (like Ryan) drastically skyrocket the instrument's appreciation over time.  

• High-End Luthier Guitars (Olson, Kevin Ryan): When Larry Robinson collaborates with legendary luthiers like Jim Olson or Kevin Ryan, the resulting guitars easily command $30,000 to $50,000 on the used market.
• Robinson’s most legendary multi-year project, the Lindisfarne guitar built by Kevin Ryan, features extensive Celtic fingerboard and body inlays and is valued at $400,000
  
• Martin D45 style abalone inlays front, back & sides.
• blue paua purfling
• Ryan “R” logo rendered in blue paua with MOP MicroPearl accents
• Ryan Micro Adjustable truss rod system allows precise setup control
• Titanium bridge pins enhance clarity and sustain
• Calton case

Great playability & tone & volume, of course, it's a Kevin Ryan.

Sonically this guitar does not dissappoint.

I really am quite speechless about this guitar, anything I say will be inadequate to decribe how great this guitar is. It is truely a Kevin Ryan guitar.

The Full "Innovation Suite" represents decades of engineering refinements designed to maximize acoustic efficiency and player comfort. This includes:

• The Ryan Ergonomic Bevel with Acoustic Flutes: An integrated armrest that features tiny sound ports, projecting mid-range and upper-end frequencies directly to the player's ear like a personal monitor.
• Acoustic Honeycomb & EO Bracing: A laser-sculpted, weight-relieved bracing system combined with a honeycomb bridge plate that minimizes mass while dramatically boosting volume, sustain, and responsiveness.
• A5 "Racing Stripe" Kerfed Liner: Adds structural integrity and acoustic liveliness to the rims.
• Titanium Bridge Pins: Used to maximize energy transfer from the strings straight to the soundboard.

Intricate Inlays: Signature models feature meticulously detailed craftmanship (Larry Robinson)

• Custom floral wreath fingerboard inlay
• Butterfly
• The headstock typically features a signature Mother of Pearl or Paua "R" logo
• The rosette combines Blue Paua with Black Tahitian Pearl and a Blue Paua outer circlet
• Blue Paua “R” logo, accented with MOP MicroPearl
• Bridge Deco inlays

Butterfly SPECIAL NOTE (google AI)

• In ancient Greek, the same word was used for butterfly and soul, linking the insect to the human spirit
• The Aztecs associated butterflies with the souls of fallen warriors.
• The Blackfoot tribe see butterflies as bringers of inspiration.
• The butterfly reminds people to appreciate the beauty of the present moment
• In the western world, the symbol of the butterfly stands for freedom, fun and joyous times.
