"DECO ECHO"

As the name suggests, echo's of the "Art Deco" period abound in this instruments looks. The geometric shape and veneer work to the headstock plus the use of the Grover Imperial Tuners take you straight back to the 20's & 30's. Note the distinctive styling to the pin bridge the Mother of Pearl effect edge binding, the decorative snowflake mother of pearl and abalone fingerboard inlays all add to this instruments period appeal.
