Description
Very popular… The Copperhead. Hammered and Patina copperhead make this a unique fellow to play . Just like all the rest in the barn, this one features Mahogany with a fretless. Ash fingerboard. A real attention-getter for sure. You are right the gourd is a little wonky. Gourds of this size are very hard to get and they are usually thin. This gourd has internal oak cross-bracing as well as epoxy/ fiberglass sidewall treatment.
