What you're doing and how you're handling it is amazing,but remember to look after yourself too
Just a suggestion.

The problem with "things", like watches or keepsakes of any kind is that if you lost it or broke it in five years' time you'd be heartbroken way above and beyond its intrinsic value.
That's always my thought too on keepsakes, the thought of losing it would keep me from having it in the first place.
I have an idea Tom, I think an idea you may be very much against, but a good one. Have a tattoo, something to remind you of her (her signature, finger print, fav line from a poem) you will never lose it and it will create a memory too.
You strike me as someone who'd be against tattoos but what a brilliant way to always have her with you, and create some smiles for the memory bank.
You could even do something similar to the sunscreen song and set it to some awesome music.
I dont know if your finances would allow it, but if you were in a position to comission a guitar then having a memento included (say an impression of a fingerprint as part of a fingerboard inlay - for example my Brook has a marquetry inlay of the beach where my dads ashes were scattered) would be a subtle yet extremely personsal affair.
Either way, from other posts of yours i am sure you will decide upon something sensitive, appropriate and with deep meaning to both of you.

If if you go down the guitar route, Rothko and Frost will turn a signature into an abalone (or whatever other material) and even route into a headstock or veneer.
I had had it done twice with my own sig

Tattoo probably a no-go but thanks!
Recording her voice... that's an idea, right enough.. we are doing a fair number of videos right now but that is cool.
I'd love Michelin star but she's a plain eater.
@Kalimna that's very cool! I couldn't afford it at all right now but it's a very cool idea!
@PVO_Dave - are you saying I could get something like that done to my existing guitars? That would be super cool......
How much for that? I'll have to check the website..!
--> I wonder if there's anybody in Edinburgh that could do that... there are a few techs but I don't know if they do this. I'd want it done to perfection (probably on my Larrivee headstock.. that springs to mind as first idea, anyway).
@DiscoStu (and @Snap I guess!) that's also cool - you just do that at home with the kit? Does it come out ok?
Hmm..
Sorry for late reply - a million and one things on the go!

You could maybe see if Graham (GSP) has any necks ready/nearly ready that you might fancy building a guitar round, he’s very reasonable and the guitars he makes are fantastic (does all the build work for Feline). Gives you the option of a project then.
Can’t remember the exact price, there is a setup fee form them to sort the artwork, then the CNC’ing and the abalone insert, not talking huge amounts!
