At only $2500, I am truly surprised it is still available.

nice Roscoe!

It's a beauty. I haven't seen one with Nordstrands and a switch. I had a zebra wood Roscoe LG 3005, regret selling it now. Would buy this, but just bought a Lakland.

This is quite beautiful and I've never owned or played a Roscoe.

If you decide to consider trades please give me a shout. I have a couple very nice 5 stringers to offer up.

Thumbs up

Wow!

Very sweet Roscoe! Truely my favorite wood combos too! Cocobolo kills as a finger board!

Unbeliveable price too!

Bump away!

There's no way to verify that...I don't think the early civilizations were using modern calendars when you were born.

Maybe the owner might feel especially generous and donate it to the Roscoe Club President as a very special Birthday gift? You know it's a rough time for many in this economy but God is still performing miracles for those who believe in Him! Just saying... You never know!
