Pimp your BITE body
Choose your design & color below or go for the plain body with No Body Art. Our body art is applied through a state-of-the-art digital transfer technology which is not available in the USA due to patent restrictions. However, we offer many other US-eligible techniques, so in most cases we will be able to reproduce digital body art by different means.

6. Fretboard Selected:
Maple
Maple is very light-colored by nature. We seal it with clearcoat to keep it from darkening through usage. Make your choice between a vintage and a natural maple tone.
For extra options, such as D neck profile, matched headstock, long headstock and orange logo, go to BELLS & WHISTLES.
Black Locust
Dark fretboard can be done without tropical wood. Special thermal treatment makes our black locust from the Vienna Woods dark and pretty like rosewood. It can remain unsealed.
