"Del Fuego"
Devilishly hand crafted from primo Honduran rosewood burl with a flaming "live edge," this interpretive little bass guitar stands 9" tall. It is carved from one solid piece of HRB, with inlaid brass frets, a contrasting triangular bridge of spalted HRB sapwood, and real black coral tuning pegs. Includes handmade display stand of HRB collar, brass rod, on a ziricote base, mounted within a glass dome. This is Old World hand craftsmanship at its best, without using any computerization or chemical finishes.
