Crafted using old NYC wood construction as per Rick Kelly's typical builds. It's solid body design is completely unique commemorating The Beatles, with a mix of artist techniques from etching, wood burnishing and acrylic paint. The face of the body is beautifully decorated commemorating the different albums by the legendary band presumably by Cindy Hulej. Images of Rubber Soul, Sgt Peppers Revolver and more are depicted on the front and back of the instrument to an expert level of detail. Fittingly, the body is designed with inspiration from The Beatles famed " Beatle Bass", but using a more simple solid body construction. This instrument is truly a work of art, but does function as an electric instrument with a simple wrap around tailpiece, and Hofner style neck pickup. The fretless neck is built out of maple with an ebony fretless fingerboard - making its construction much more simple, showcasing the artistry more than the playability. It is quite heavy. Hip shot Clover tuners and the electronics function as they should. This is certainly a piece of artwork suitable for any guitar collector, fan of the Beatles or fan of old New York.
