    "​PHOENIX (Aug. 30 2016) – ... Opening November 5, 2016, Dragons and Vines: Inlaid Guitar Masterpieces presents a collection of instruments featuring stunning inlay design created by the greatest contemporary North American inlay artists and luthiers.

    "​“Dragon 2002” Electric Guitar, 2002, Pearl Works, Paul Reed Smith (PRS) Guitars - Designed by Jeff Easley, an independent designer, this guitar depicts a close-up view of a dragon’s head covering almost 90 percent of the body. The materials used include shells, mammoth ivory, and other exotic elements. Once the design was installed on the guitar, the surface was airbrushed by Paul Boyd, a longtime PRS employee. ",
    "​“Martin D-50 Koa Deluxe” Acoustic Guitar, 2003, Pearl Works, C. F. Martin & Co. – This instrument’s inlaid work depicts Martin’s traditional “Tree of Life” design. The vine patterns are cut from dark-heart abalone shell and are outlined in mother-of-pearl. Prior to Sifel’s involvement, the Martin guitar company was unable to expand any “standard” production models with this level of decoration because it could not effectively be duplicated beyond the one-off examples. ",
    "​“Night Dive” OM Guitar, 2004, Pearl Works, C. F. Martin & Co. – This instrument illustrates the process of collecting shells for inlay. The center of the fretboard depicts divers collecting abalone shells, rendered as if seen through rippling water. Chuck Erikson, known as the “Duke of Pearl,” holds a lantern that lights the scene and gathers the shells that the divers collect. Sifel is depicted with his power saw inside a boat, and Grit Laskin, an inlay artisan, is peering into the scene from behind the boat. The materials for this piece include reconstituted stone and Corian. "
