This guitar comes with a floating black (probably Kent Armstrong) pickup connected to volume and tone controls on the pickguard. It is unusual (and beautiful) in having a custom-ordered headstock decoration that takes the form of a angel ringing a bell (i.e. possibly for New Year’s) while standing on the lower egg-shaped portion of a whole note – all of this in engraved mother of pearl radiant with silver-white but also containing earth tones for both the angel, herself, and the lower bell that hangs from a long abalone (colorful, refracting) ribbon.
