Abalone top trim, an abalone rosette, and an abalone headstock logo provide an extra touch of elegance. Dressed in a full gloss finish, the cedar top employs an antique whitewash treatment while ivoroid binding and gold tuners with ivoroid buttons round out this Beautiful Pairing of TonewoodsA guitar this beautiful wouldn't be anything without an amazing tonewood set.
