BAN7E
The BAN7E boasts a unique jumbo-shaped body, with a solid spruce top and flame maple back & sides, offering a visually appealing aesthetic. The Genuine bone Upper Nut, Bridge saddle, and Bridge pins contribute to improved resonance, resulting in a richer, clearer tone with enhanced projection and dynamic range.
While the craftsmanship of the BAN7E is intricately detailed, suggesting a blend of artistry and design, there seems to be a contradiction in the description. The existing iconic mountain-shaped design of Bromo was enhanced with a wolf-themed design, , with elaborate wolf-inspired embellishments such as the Shellwood "Howling Wolf" on the headstock, Mt. Bromo abalone inlays with addition of Maple Rings on the fngerbaord, and M.O.P. Wolf Gangs on the bridge.
Furthermore, the glossy polyurethane coating on the BAN7E is described as offering a sleek and polished appearance that enhances the natural beauty of the wood grain. Creating a matte finish on the neck contour after completing a glossy finish can actually provide **Faster Neck Movement**: The matte surface can reduce friction between the hand and the neck, facilitating quicker and more fluid movement across the fretboard, which can be particularly advantageous for intricate playing styles like shredding.
However, the tortoise shell patterned pick guard plate featuring an eagle motif. Not only does it provide protection, but it also accentuates the guitar with a sleek and distinctive design.
To resolve these contradictions, the design elements should maintain consistency with the Mt. Bromo theme throughout the guitar, ensuring a cohesive and harmonious aesthetic presentation. Additionally, consideration should be given to maintaining a coherent visual style that aligns with the elegant and sophisticated appeal of the instrument.
