What the contest holder asked for

Company or website name
fretbuckle.com - Company name is FretBuckle
Slogan or Tagline
Handcrafted in Nashville from the finest materials
Describe your company and organization and target audience
<p>Target audience:&nbsp;This belt buckle is a high-end/expensive item. I want it to appeal to affluent buyers. Rich musicians and music enthusiasts. It will be sold in the expensive boutique shops and stores and also online. It is crafted from the finest premium materials available. So I'd like a logo that expresses that.&nbsp;</p><p>Company: I am the owner/operator. Guitarist and vocalist that has been building electric guitars for decades. If it isn't perfect, it isn't to be sold.</p>
The design should have the following
<p>I have an idea for the logo and will attach some pictures to express the idea. The logo being the word FretBuckle. The idea is to incorporate a part of the guitar (attached picture) that is somewhat shaped like an "F".&nbsp; And can be used as the 1st letter in FretBuckle. Also maybe use one of the trapezoidal abalone inlays (attached picture) to replace the "C" or "E"'s in FretBuckle. This is just an idea to use the picture and blur the rest of the guitar so it appears to be the "F". This is just an idea. But please run with it.&nbsp; </p><p>I would also like to see what you come up with not using my pictures.</p>

Any changes to the guitar that make it take on a different shape. Not interested in cartoon style at all. I want it to look classy and professional.
