Incredible guitar with amazing tuning stability and fantastic curb appeal. This is the book matched full carbon fiber sheets matched down the center of the back, not like the patch work quilt you see on the "Black Ice" series, basically scraps of carbon fiber that looks kind of crazy in my personal opinion. It was very hard to take good pictures as it is so clean and shiny everything reflected in it. The best representation of the look is the picture of the back of the neck where it meets the body, that's what the entire guitar looks like. This will come with the Rain Song crushed velvet hard case seen in the pictures. Please note that in the last picture you will see where the very back corner latch is missing, doesn't effect the function one little bit on the case. You won't be disappointed in this guitar!! Case also has a couple nicks in it that have been colored in black.
