We choose and bought the materials at Rudolf Bachmanns in Anterselva (Süd-Tirol) on July 12, 2017
The top is made from local Alp spruce, the back, ribs and neck from Bosnian maple, fretboard from Indian ebony (CITES)
All inlays is mother-of-pearl ("Split Diamond" in headstock), two humbucker pickups, Tune-o-matic bridge and the tailpiece is a heavy duty Bigsby B6 with vibrato arm
The brown "heart" on the back of the head stock is made of walnut wood from the French Pyrenees and the heel cap at the back, bottom of the neck, is made from Californian reedwood from Yosemite
