Nitro and metallic leaf: beauty in contrast
Our Nitro over Metallic Leaf Relic finish is where two worlds meet — the timeless charm of nitro meets the refined elegance of metallic leaf.
The hand-made relic work reveals unexpected reflections beneath the worn surface, like scars that shine with life.
A bold, distinctive aesthetic for those who love instruments that demand attention.
