Multiple layers of gold and color are then applied to express the texture of the scales and the elegant movement of the fish.\u003cbr\u003eThe warmth and refinement achieved through this process cannot be replicated by machine production.\u003cbr\u003eBlending the functional beauty of a musical instrument with the aesthetics of Japanese craftsmanship, this is a guitar designed not only to be played, but also to be admired as a work of art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade to order only\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction time: approximately 4 months\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e[Shipping]\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease send your guitar to our designated workshop via courier service.\u003cbr\u003eOnce the artwork is completed, the finished guitar will be carefully shipped back to you by courier.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"私のストア","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44389897469994,"sku":null,"price":5254.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/6523\/5754\/files\/nishikigoi_shop_in_london_top.jpg?v=1779504898","url":"https:\/\/retone.jp\/en-global\/products\/guitar_nishikigoi_chinkin","provider":"Re Tone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
