This isn’t just an instrument; it is the legendary first prototype created for the Bell & Hern Custom Classics line. This historic piece represents the foundational partnership between industry titans that sparked a lasting friendship and some of the most beautiful custom pieces in the world. This "Genesis" guitar is masterfully constructed with an Alder body, a Maple top, and a Maple neck, creating a high-resonance platform for elite playability. The playing experience is defined by a 22-fret bound Rosewood fingerboard and a pair of double PAF-Vintage MK-IV humbucking pickups that deliver a "killer," versatile sound. Whether you are commanding a major stage or playing a studio session, this guitar's presence is undeniable. Topped off with a custom Tiger Sparkle finish by the renowned Marty Bell, this foundational piece of guitar history.
