| | | | Fretless Roscoe.
I'm gasing big time for a fretless LG-3005.
Maple Diamondwood fingerboard.
Ceder, or Swamp Ash body.
Not sure of top yet.
Someone try to talk me out of it. ( it maybe to late)
Gard, please no pics? I'm weak. |

Congratulations!
I have an SKB 3005 Lined Diamondwood Fretless that sings like a bird and growls like a wolf. It is my favorite instrument.
It has a Burl Myrtle top with a Spanish Cedar body and the 3-way Bart/Bart. The only change I may do is to put some Big Splits from Nordstrand on her to open up the tone a bit more as the soapbars compress things somewhat.
Everyone has their opinion and mine would be to go with either the Spanish Cedar or Alder body. For myself, I wouldn't want a fretless with that Swamp Ash tone. Also having the fingerboard lined is a real convenience. When it comes to the top, who cares? Gard will be able to pick something nice or have one of the fellas choose a cool slab you will dig.
Lord bless,
Doug |

Bubinga top
Ash body
Birdseye Diamondwood (lined) board
Bart p-ups
Audere pre
This pretty much nails most fretless tones that I hear in my head plus many, many more!

I'll PM Mojo with some ideas, there are a few out there that are pretty sweet, and a couple coming up that are nice as well....
