Custom Finishes?

This is probably a question for Gard, unless the answer is yes and some of you have custom finished Roscoes.

So, does Roscoe offer custom finishing, or just a standard list of colours? If yes, I'll be sending off a question to Gard about a crazy idea I have.

This info is much appreciated. This is the start of a saga that I forsee ending with a new Roscoe in my hands 10-14 months from now.

I think they will, but if not, threaten to talk about how the Panthers beat the Saints. Thatll change his mind.

Talk all you like, here's a simple rebuttal:

Saints record: 3 wins, 1 loss
Panthers record: 2 wins, 2 losses

Wait man, it's still early in the season . I went to the game, Reggie Bush is pretty damn good, but I'd take Steve Smith any day of the week.

Haha, yeah I know we played like crap for a while, especially when Steve Smith was out. I will say this though, the parts of the game I was able to catch, it looked like a really good, close game.

Haha, I know what you mean. I went to a Virginia Tech game two weeks ago and sat in the student section. I felt like I was half a mile above the game. Still super fun though. Glad I didnt see that; I didnt catch all of the game.

Hey, gard. Show them a pic of the custom finish Jon Jon bass. It'll make you want to roll one up.

Shawn & Dave, yeah, but y'know Reggie Bush ain't our offense, he's just a part of it, take him out, you still gotta account for Duce McAllister, Joe Horn, and Marques Colston; take Steve Smith out and...well...



...by the way, we'll almost without question be 4-1 by the end of the coming weekend...

Damn man, that is pretty sweet... how common in the diamondwood fingerboards with the darker coloring near the edges? That would look pretty sweet on the fretless that I'm thinking about...

Shawn -

That's the "rainbow" diamondwood, it can be done that way anytime, the color choices that are on the final board just depend on how we glue the board on the neck and how the colors are arranged in the piece. The guys are good at figuring out that stuff to hit colors that you'll want.

If you check it out, we've done this type of board for a fretless before, for TBer Stachio:

Man that just gave me some major GAS pains! I had remembered seeing the fingerboard, just couldn't remember who's it was. Gard, we may have a conversation coming up...

Hey! That's the same record as the Falcons!

...and yes, you are welcome for our gracious southern act of compassion on Monday night a couple weeks ago!
The truth is, we'd rather lose a game than be accused of spoiling the inaugural party of the rebuilt N.O. Superdome!

.....don't expect that kind of compassion and southern hospitality when you visit Hot "Lanta!

Dude...puh-leeze...



...we figger'd out y'all's offense, it's REAL simple: hawk Vick, and they're sunk.

We'll spank ya in the Jaw-juh Dome just like we did in the "new & improved" Superdome, count on it. You guys have a one-dimensional offense...

Nothing to add to this thread, just wanted to share this pic with Gard. The quality's not that great, but it was a LONG day of celebrating leading up to reopening the Dome. This was pregame.

...of course I guess if you wanted a green, yellow and red Roscoe but couldn't afford but one that would be the answer!
