The guitar with the 24-carat golden makeover

Pankaj | 52 min ago

More than a question of taste and listening pleasure, every guitar player has their favorite guitar features like a non-slip grip, colorful paint job, thickness and very rarely seen - the fully gold-plated guitar. This gorgeous looking guitar was custom made by a mystery English celebrity living in Monaco. Plated in 24-carat gold by a metal specialist firm in Glastonbury, Somerset, it costs a “four-figure” sum for stripping down the aluminum guitar and then layering it with gold plate. Doesn’t matter if this guitar gets wasted at a party but compliments for salvaging this thing with the sensitive artistic angle.
