In the rock world, some bands have shaped a style that went far beyond their music. We’re talking eccentric outfits, over-the-top makeup, and those famously long beards. Among the legends stand KISS and ZZ Top — bands that took their signature look all the way to their instruments. Let’s take a closer look at one of Dusty Hill’s most iconic creations… a fur-covered bass!

Over decades of hits and unforgettable live shows, ZZ Top built an image that was as bold as their sound. The three Texas cowboys forged a style of their own — hats, long beards, and wildly original guitars. Billy Gibbons and Dusty Hill often took the stage with matching instruments, custom-built just for them. Many of these guitars and basses were modified, painted, decorated, or even created entirely from scratch for the duo.

This fur-covered bass brings you closer to the eccentric genius of ZZ Top. Crafted by their longtime luthier John Bolin, it’s wrapped in a thick coat of immaculate fur — one of the most memorable and outrageous designs of their career, and a truly remarkable finish for a bass guitar!

This piece of rock history comes directly from Dusty Hill’s family. It’s been played, loved, and heard countless times, proudly showing every mark of its journey. A legendary instrument to discover at Matt’s Guitar Shop.
