NBD: PDN Bongo 5HH

Will PDN or BFR issue instrument be better than regular models in case if such a big price difference? Or this is just all about limited editions and unique look?

As far as I can tell, you're paying extra for the figured woods, the roasted neck, the pau ferro board and the normally unavailable options - stainless steel frets, mother of pearl inalys, and a beautiful burst finish. I'd say the 'big' price difference is relative. They don't like us talking prices on here, but $400 upcharge is a bargain for all these otherwise custom options.

I'm going to assume these will be one of a kinds things...
