A student of the master builder Jean-Claude Larrivee, Laskin has emerged as a dedicated builder in his own right, producing guitars of superior quality and range. With this said Laskin’s trademark is his inlay work, which is truly mind blowing. Inlay has been common on instruments for hundreds of years but Laskin’s approach is unique and groundbreaking. His work has a surrealist slant, including bizarre angles of view and subject matter. Laskin is unorthodox with his materials as well, combining all types materials to create highly illustrative and daring works of playable art.
