It does come with a custom-made gigbag, strap buttons and the tail has a bronze string plate, which has already been fitted and soldered with a grounding wire. No corners were cut during the construction of these guitars, they are museum-quality, and have the greatest beauty in their details. Everything has been hand-made, carved tail and bridge, inner-kerfling, you name it! The sound - unplugged, is beautiful. Electrified, my guitars have a beautiful, pure, natural tone to them, and dream-like sustain. Feedback is controllable with the smaller body. I play loudly out of a FENDER DELUXE and SD 59's - everything from classical, jazz, rock, reggae, funk.....this guitar can cover all the bases.
