New B&G Private Build Guitars Arrive
We have just received three gorgeous new B&G Private Build models that encapsulate the variety and stunning quality that B&G Guitars hand-build in their workshop at their headquarters in Tel-Aviv, Israel.
The Little Sister Private Build is the original Little Sister, and the three new guitars we've received all feature the award-winning Little Sister design.
