Finally. Here is the Marble guitar with a sketch of Marble by Laurie on the body. I used a semi-hollow Telecaster style body with two Humbucker pickups. I put a Telecaster neck with a fancy vine inlay. I was holding Marble when Laurie made the sketch. Multiple images of the sketch turned various ways worked well. The music in the video is me playing the rhythm and lead guitar parts on the Marble Guitar. There are no effects on the rhythm guitar and only echo on the lead guitar. I did not use a virtual amp for either the rhythm or lead guitars. I simply played straight into the computer while recording. Therefore, what you hear is what the guitar sounds like with no special processing other than the echo on the lead. The percussion and bass in the song are the same tracks I used for the RGX One-Eye, the Les Paul One-Eye, and the Tumultuous Strat.
Very cool. How wonderful you and your wife collaborate like this.
Brings back fond memories of Mick and me…
Thanks, Dale.
So cool and wonderful Tim!! The music, the drawing on the guitar, and kitties Marble and Silver!
Thanks, Leah. I’m happy you liked the guitar and the music.
So exquisite, and the neck just knocks the WholeBeauty right out of the park. Play that garden BAYbee.
Nice. I like “Play that garden Baybee.” The AWB (Average White Boys) might have to make something out of that. Thanks, Jordan.
You’re welcome, Timothy.
I really like your music, Tim! Marble is a beautiful cat, the guitar looks great too! 😎😻
Thanks, John. Marble is a sweet and supper sassy, ornary kitty. I guess kitty is enough and the rest is redundant.
Nothing wrong with multiple cats if you have the property and setup for them. I’d love to have a cat but don’t want the damage in the home to be honest.
Cats are pretty good at tearing things up. Specially having Spunk the destroyer among the kitty collection.
LOL, Spunk The Destroyer! Funny!
Not really. He’s takes the name seriously.
Marble is one cool kitty! That was beautiful little video and that is one very beautiful guitar! It sounds good, too.
Thanks, Lavinia.
Beautiful video and beautiful sketch by Laurie. You guys are wonderful. Maya and I send hugs to everyone.
Thanks, Gabriela.
My pleasure 😊
Wonderful video!!
Thanks, Leyla.
Beautiful music, Timothy. The art work on the guitar is superb. Marble has got the acting down pat, especially the scenes with you. Oh, and bravo for Silver’s cameo!
Thanks, Maj & Sher. The kitties are pretty good actors around here.
This video with the kitties is priceless. So much love and play going on. Excellent background to feature such a lively guitar.
Thanks, Jordan. The kitties do pretty well for video. I’m just jam away on the guitar. Play it through and see what happens.
They’re hams hamming it up like the Pros they are.

Thanks, Harry.
A cool cat an a very cool looking guitar! Even that guy in the video looks cool…
Thanks, Herman.
Not many pussy cats gets the honour of having their own guitar. Great results all round.
True. Thanks, Couriers.
Oh, Marble should be very very proud, Tim! Great sound too! Bravo, my friend!
Thanks, Marina.
👌
Cool as cats here I’d say and cool for cats. Great music, gutiar, blog.
Thanks, Shey. And it’s cooling down, also.
Great work!
Thanks, Teri.
Very nicely done, Tim!
Thanks, Phil.
Gorgeous work on the guitar, hats off to you and Laurie! Love the music, I love Les Paul but he has nothing on you! Marble must be full of herself with such beautiful objet d’art created in her namesake! Fabulous work, cheers to you both.
Thanks, Holly. Marble’s a sassy lass that’s for sure.
Definitely as she should be!
Nice Tim! At this rate you’re going to need to build a gallery at your house for all those awesome guitars.
Maybe showcase a few at the Strat Academy, liven the place up a bit. The guitar sounds great.
The less Effect the more it Affects.
Ron |<:^)
Thanks, Ron. Yep. Getting quite a collection of custom gitters.
It’s a beautiful guitar, and sounds great too, bravo to you and Laurie both! Marble sure likes to get dirty, doesn’t he?!
Marble loves rolling in the dirt. Thanks, Tiffany.
Very cool! The music, kitties and love how Laurie did the guitar.
Thanks, Nancy.
Dearest Tim, this is such a beautiful guitar. All of your creations are lovely, this guitar is spectacular, Laurie’s artwork captured something so special. Marble is quite the kitty. Love the video! ~ Mia
Thanks, Mia. Laurie had to do a really quick sketch because Marble was squirming. She really did capture something special. I’m happy you liked the video.
All wonderful, the video, Laurie’s artwork, and your creative process of making a remarkable instrument! And of course, we can’t forget Marble!
Marble certainly is great inspiration.
Those little torties are a riot. Oh, can I say that?My little tortie is a pistol.
True. Marble is a super feisty and packs quite a punch for a small as she is compared to the big boys.
I love the guitar and the artwork is fabulous. Marble has great colouring.
Thanks, Charlotte.
Being a guitarist, I was amazed by the sound. But more I loved the way you have decorated it!
Thinks, Nimay. It’s a sweet guitar.
Beautiful video… Those kittens are growing fast.. Love the artwork on your guitar and especially the vine along the frets.. Enjoyed your lively music Tim… 🙂 Thank you… Have a wonderful week ahead.
Thanks, Sue. I thought the vine on the fingerboard would go especially well with Marble.
A Perfect compliment 🙂
Tim, the guitar looks great, and sounds great!
Excellent work.
Little Marble is adorable cute. Silver seems quite bossy!
Silver is a big bully. Marble is aborble, and she does slap Silver and the olther big cloddy boys around a bit. Thanks, Resa.
…. He wandered lonely as a clod……
groovy music, pretty guitars, and kitty love! excellent space out sound
Thanks, Holly. Marble is a cool loving kitty. I’ve been having fun building guitars.
saw some more guitar pics! wow! building guitars seems like it would be relaxing meditative work. at least a great way to meditate
Doing the clear coat can be quite stressful. I don’t have a good space for painting, so getting a good finish can be very troubling. I think some of your paintings would go really well on a guitar.
Great video Tim …Marble is such a character! The guitar is amazing
Thanks, Julie.
