Even though these instruments were on temporary exhibit at Gryphon, I'm including
this page about them in the New Instrument Gallery. They are really "displayed"
in the FRETS.COM Museum section, since they were not part of Gryphon's inventory
of instruments for sale. They were made between 1998 and 2002. Lately, they've
been traveling around as an exhibition of the capabilities of the Custom Shop
at Martin. Three are examples of Larry Robinson's elaborate style of hand cut
inlay work, two are limited editions from the catalog, and one is an unusual
painted guitar.
