This TL-style bass guitar is a one-of-a-kind creation steeped in history and craftsmanship. Built using 200-year-old reclaimed barnwood, we wanted to recreate the Cross of Christ and Crucifixion. Featuring intricate details, including Roman numeral fret markers, aged hardware, and an antique nail embedded through the central motif of Jesus’ hand, this instrument is both a stunning work of art and a fully functional, comfortable, and wonderfully sounding  bass guitar.
