Custom Blue Glitter Acoustic Guitar with Celestial Inlays

This is an acoustic guitar, likely a dreadnought or similar large-bodied shape, featuring a distinctive blue glitter finish on its top. The entire surface of the guitar's top-facing body is covered in a high-gloss, shimmering blue finish with embedded glitter particles, giving it a cosmic, starry appearance. A unique artistic motif is present on the lower bout, depicting a stylized sunburst or starburst design in white emanating from where the bridge is typically located, complementing the glitter finish. Further up on the upper bout, a smaller, white star with a trailing comet-like tail is visible, reinforcing the celestial theme. The guitar has a cutaway body style, common for easier access to higher frets. The soundhole features an intricately decorated rosette with a white and black or dark blue pattern, possibly herringbone or a similar geometric design, indicating attention to detail. The bridge appears to be made of a dark material, possibly ebony or rosewood, with six bridge pins. The fretboard, visible extending from the lower right of the image, has distinct mother-of-pearl or abalone inlay markers in the shape of bird silhouettes or similar artistic patterns at various fret positions, suggesting a higher-quality instrument, possibly a Paul Reed Smith (PRS) 'Private Stock' or 'Artist Package' acoustic, known for their unique inlays. The overall condition appears excellent, with no immediately visible signs of major wear, damage, or repairs, maintaining its glossy finish and vibrant color. The craftsmanship seems to be of a professional grade, evident in the detailed inlays and custom finish, suggesting it's not a beginner-level instrument. It is currently sitting in what appears to be a black hardshell guitar case, which implies the owner values its protection.
