Finish & Aesthetic
-
GBCS stands for Garnet Black Cherry Sunburst — a satin/matte garnet-red center fading into darker edges, over a burled ash or maple veneer.
-
This bold yet refined burst is designed to evoke a blend of elegance and subtle stage presence.
-
Though often seen with chrome hardware, it can also be outfitted with gold hoops, lugs, and Y.E.S.S. mount for a richer contrast.
