painted on both and covered with the finest transparent lacquer, red binding on the

body and peghead, pickup bezels (frames) when used are white, otherwise

pickups without bezels are black and painted to maintain the logo image as is the

bridge (optical pickups eliminate this hand painting of the pickups because they

are built into the bridge - this leaves a flat area for the logo beneath the strings),

knobs can be white or chrome or gold or black as can the coil switches

and pickup selector lever or knob, the neck can be dark or light, the tuners are

custom designed and elongated to imitate the look of feathers ~ they can be white

or chrome or gold or black, too. They come in two sizes, long and short. The long

ones are depicted, above. Weight will be 3.181 to 4.090 Kg (seven to nine

pounds). Instrument will be finished in all respects with care, attention to details

and the finest finishes.
