I don't do a #flattopfriday very often, and I don't think I have *ever* led off a photo dump with a picture of an inlaid fretboard! But I think you will agree that this guitar, and this fretboard, warrant the attention.

Swipe for more photos.

This is a 2019 Wayne C. Henderson OM, with incredible inlay work by @mathisguitars, spotted at @thetwelfthfret Toronto.

If you are not familiar with Wayne Henderson, there is a book you can read called "Clapton's Guitar: Watching Wayne Henderson Build the Perfect Instrument". Wayne has an enormous cult following and his guitars have been owned by famous players such as Clapton, Tommy Emmanuel, and the late Doc Watson. I can count on two fingers the number of Henderson guitars I have seen in my life (and I only need the second finger because my friend @michaelsegui is friends with Wayne and has one! This one and Mike's might be the only two Hendersons in Canada!).

Because Wayne only builds ~20 instruments a year, and has hundreds of people on his waiting list, one can wait up to 10 years to get a Henderson. They rarely come up for resale in like this, and on those rare occasions when they do, they command premium prices. And this one is VERY premium because of its extreme fanciness!

Here is how the shop describes it on their website:

"...Spruce top paired with Brazilian Rosewood for the sides, back and head plate, Mahogany for the body blocks and neck, and Ebony for the bridge and bound fingerboard. The fingerboard features and elaborate Abalone inlay set of stacked flowerpots and vines, with a classic “torch” style inlay with an engraved ‘W C Henderson” banner on the headstock. The top and sound holes are also surrounded with an abalone layer. The neck has a vintage ‘V’ profile."

If you can, I urge you to make an appointment to visit @thetwelfthfret and see this guitar. It may be the only Henderson you ever get a chance to see in person!
