WORLD'S MOST EXPENSIVE BASS GUITAR

The most expensive bass guitar comes from a designer of top-of-the-line guitars, Jens Ritter, and it is neither one that you will be able to find in your local music shop nor is it even completed yet! The most expensive bass guitar in the world is being created by Jens Ritter for a private customer who specially asked for the guitar to be custom-made for them. The guitar may not be entirely completed just yet but it does already have a name – The Ritter Royal Flora Aurum.

The body of the guitar is one solid piece of rare maple that has been carved out to make the guitar’s shape and a 10,000-year-old piece of ivory was used to carve out the nut. A pretty design travels up the fingerboard of the guitar and this definitely helps add to the value as 24-karat gold is used to make up the entire pattern. And within each leaf in the pattern is a black diamond that has been cast into platinum. The bridge, knobs and tuner are all of course, cast in gold and the knobs also feature brilliant-cut diamonds on their tops for a total of an additional 3.3 karats.

But because the guitar is being made for and purchased by a private owner, even if you had the $100,000 that is said to be the guitar’s value, you still wouldn’t be able to buy it!
