Hi Gard,
i was just wondering if Keith has ever built a roscoe with a walnut top?
I looked though the threads in this forum and didn't see any, and i didn't even really notice any dark-wood (and aren't painted a dark color) topped roscoes...are there any? |

*granted i may never have the money to afford one of those basses, but still, they are easy on the eyes and ears  |

I have seen several examples of black/english grafts in Lake Co. CA. My dad's neighbor harvested several old trees from various orchards in Lakeport, and milled them all to 2 in. planks.

It just looked great, and we know it was walnut...
