Monarch in Quilted Maple with Custom Fretboard Inlay

This is one stunning guitar! Commissioned by a Taylor Swift fan, this instrument features a neck inlay with the owner’s name. Other upgrades include a quilted Maple back and side set, Abalone shell inlays and fret postion markers, and gold plated Gotoh tuners. A fully voiced and tuned AAA Sitka Spruce top and an L.R. Baggs Active Element pickup will make Lauren’s guitar stand out sonically, and the appointments will make both her and the guitar the center of attention on stage.
