An inspiration palette is the "sum of the parts" cosmetically of each model in the range from Dowina.
A simple reference point of the cosmetics of each guitar.
These designs were inspired originally by Stan & Erika and form the basis of their "standard range" you could say.
However - to consider each model as a rigid entity is actually a big mistake as they are merely a representation of what can be achieved. Think of them more as inspiration!
Buying the guitar in the original format is clearly the most economical way to get your hands on a hand made custom shop Dowina - but if you like the idea of being more involved and having something more personalized, then the inspiration palettes can help you learn more about the options you could have on your guitar.
Here is an example...
The SOL Vs Granadillo
I have tried to make it as easy as possible to see at a glance how one model is different to the other.
Take a look at these two palettes...
Hopefully you can get a sense straight away of the key differences cosmetically. Bare in mind that the body shape and the top plate wood is variable based on your personal requirements.
So lets say for example you love the Granadillo - but wanted an open pore top? Not gloss? Maybe you like the more natural wood effect soundhole rosette? Or you wanted to change the 12th fret inlay? Or lets say you wanted to personally select the back plate that will be used to create your guitar?
Yould be creating a "Granadillo Inspired" Dowina Custom and we would use the SOL soundhole rosette and the open pore top - and Erika would send you some of the tastiest pieces of Granadillo based on your personal requirements.
Inspiration palettes are therefore just that. They are there to inspire you - to help you be creative and are your first stepping stone into the unique "Inspired By Dowina" experience.
