Back and sides are highly-flamed Monterrey Cypress, soundboard is master-quality Englemann Spruce, neck and peghead is graphite-reinforced Cedro de Cuba, fretboard is Ebony, and bridge is Rosewood. The peghead has a topless Gypsy dancer design inlaid in Mother-of-Pearl, Abalone and Shell; and the rosette and bridge tie-block are bound with Abalone. The guitar uses planetary-gear banjo tuners instead of traditional wooden cello pegs, but has the traditional transparent-plastic “tapping plates” on the soundboard.
