The Ruby Custom
As I mentioned on the "Beat That Summary" page, this Ruby Custom was ordered by a client. It has a custom inlay fingerboard, headstock and bridge that I designed, hand cut and inlayed.
It was bound with abalone on top, bottom, neck and peghead.
In addition, the back and sides are Honduran Rosewood, which produces an amazing sound. Check out our audio clips!
She is a beauty, both in looks and sound!
