CHAMFERED - A hand carved bevel travels around the instrument, varying in thickness and depth. This is a great option if you want a high grade or exotic wood "droptop". Contrasting accent layers and veneers are also available.
AERO-CARVED - The body is fully carved to be as ergonomic as possible. The carve of the top falls away smoothly, blending the player and instrument together. *This option os not available for instruments with a drop-top.
