Keith has also been quoted as stating that it was totally a cosmetic decision. |
Could totally be, Joe - like I said, it's subjective. I'd read - and I think it was also stated above - that the slant was an effort to add low end to the smaller body style. To me that makes it sound like a sonic decision, as opposed to a cosmetic one. Either way - it obviously works for a great number of folks and I'm in the minority on it...which is more of a physical comfort thing than anything else. My whole point - if you're doing a custom order, make absolute sure everything is as you want it.

Anyway, I don't think this should have any bearing on the choice of cedar for the Roscoe. Does any one else? |
Hmmm. I can't imagine a neck-through fretless and the Roscoe you've spec'd being too similar, but I'd suggest that cedar is a much better choice than ash for whatever common ground happens to be there.
