Fully Worked Helix Classic OG – Desert Sunset

There’s one of these. When it’s gone, it’s gone.

What you’re looking at

• The head. Fully worked. Desert Sunset runs through the whole head in a nice, tight wig-wag of deep green against red, orange and gold, laid down line by line in the studio.
• The magnifiers. Large and clear, set across the front. Look through one and the pattern underneath swells up to meet you.
• The carb. Extended, so it’s easy to find and easy to use.
• The horn. Flame-patterned, twisting from red into yellow. It carries the weight when the piece is set down.
• The dots. Deep green dots run down the clear body. They catch the light and give your fingers somewhere to land.
• The decal. 24K gold, fired on.

Caring for your Helix

Rinse with warm water; isopropyl for a deeper clean; brush the inlet to keep the airflow clear. Go gentle on the magnifiers, horn and worked detail.
