It also comes with an adjustable leather strap developed by Adam himself. It is adorned with a Two-Headed Dog hand-cast and plated brooch developed by artist Alex Kuno. Aged by the artisans of the Murphy Lab, only 50 units will be hand-crafted by the expert luthiers and craftspeople of the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee, as part of this extraordinary limited run."
