It took over seventy days to produce this work of art and craftmanship!

We did the inlaid work with the gorgeous natural abalone and mother of pearl on our products , all inlays are hand crafted , no CNC machine cutting

This is not like lesser quality products you may find elsewhere on eBay. Excellent luthiery craftsmanship was used in creating both its structural and cosmetic appointments.
