Notes
The Scarab Guitar is inspired by Egyptian mythology. Its classical violin-inspired shape is made more beetle-like through the use of pearlescent, colour-change paint, echoing the shell of a scarab beetle.
The Zebrano headstock is designed to evoke the rushes that line the banks of the Nile.
The inlay is sterling silver in a constellation pattern, set against a classic ebony fretboard bound in maple.
