Pearl Shell pack Specs being finalized

Pearl Music City Custom combines Pearl's professional shell platforms with custom assembly and finishing in Nashville, Tennessee. Depending on the chosen base, it can use Masters Maple/Gum, Reference Pure, Reference One, or stave-style shells, then adds boutique wrap, glass glitter, sparkle, or inlay aesthetics with faster custom-shop turnaround than full bespoke builds.
