Hi Gard,

i was just wondering if Keith has ever built a roscoe with a walnut top?

I looked though the threads in this forum and didn't see any, and i didn't even really notice any dark-wood (and aren't painted a dark color) topped roscoes...are there any?

Yes, we have, and we're going to be doing some more soon. Here is a shot of the last piece we did, an SKB 3006 made with a grafted piece of wood from two different species of walnut.

How come the wood grain looks like a mountain in Japanese painting?
That's awesome!!

that looks great...i think roscoe should make some more walnut basses!*




*granted i may never have the money to afford one of those basses, but still, they are easy on the eyes and ears :)

That thing is hawt!!!:cool:

Is that a piece of black walnut grafted to english walnut? I have seen several examples of black/english grafts in Lake Co. CA. My dad's neighbor harvested several old trees from various orchards in Lakeport, and milled them all to 2 in. planks.

It's possible, we never really did find out! It just looked great, and we know it was walnut...

:cool:

I'll have a Walnut top ordered as soon as I can muster the down payment.

That's gorgeous! Especially with that fretboard! Wow! (Of course, I'd be afraid to take it to a gig....)
