And suddenly I'm in love with bubinga.
What a gorgeous deep color.

But my redwood LG is going to look fantastic...and more importantly SOUND killer!

Still...gorgeous. Though I'm not sure I've ever seen a Roscoe that didn't look good.

Great looking top!

..... I'm really GAS'ing bad for a 6 string lined fretless! I'm thinking CS Plus (w/black hardware of course!).

Jon,
I played with David Villtetoe this weekend and he say's hi!
Great guy and excellent drummer!

And since it's a Plus, you could get a Birdseye Diamondwood board, like that gorgeous LG you had.
