"Named Gypsy Funk, this bold guitar is made by Erik Smith of Crow Hill Guitars. Crafted from walnut burl and black cherry, and sporting a katalox fretboard, the guitar features a Graphtech Acoustiphonic pickup system. ""The natural voids and bark incursions are filled with malachite,с says Smith. ""And though you can't see much of it in the photo, the guitar is accompanied by a matching amp cabinet with a custom stand.с"
