The headstock features 3-per-side heavily-chromed German Schaller Tuners and the Rich "R" logo inlay in abalone. The body is fully bound in three-layered binding with herringbone purfling surrounding the solid Spruce top. The Ebony fingerboard features 20 Jumbo Frets and Mother-of-Pearl perforated inlaid diamond position markers. The Spruce top has a multi-ring Abalone-inlaid rosette, and translucent-Amber faux-tortoise pickguard.
