JBFLA has a new Roscoe on order. Gard was kind enough to share a preliminary pic, and it's looking pretty incredible! The pic below shows the body with color and sealer applied. No primer or clear coat yet...
Gard said a naughty word when he described the top to me, and then he just kept repeating the naughty word when I asked him what he meant. Yeah, it's THAT nice a piece of quilted maple - perfect choice for the cobalt blue finish.
And, Jim - Gard says "You're Welcome". I get the impression he strongly recommended that top.  I guess that's why he gets the big money!  |

Not that I ever had a doubt about how it would turn out (A million thanks Gard), but it's hard to picture from a raw piece of wood.
Thanks for sharing!

God Bless, Ray | Me too Ray!!
I haven't blind ordered a bass since I bought a Lakland DPLEll way back before I even knew of Roscoe.
It more than makes up for the 1700 mile round trip!!

Super fine.
Top really pops.
In my mind, there can never be enough fretless Roscoe's. |

There was a serious upcharge for the RUSH order: I have to make another trip up to the shop, order a Koa 5 string AND buy lunch that includes adult beverages (Greg - you're invited).
Methinks the Koa 5 string might be cheaper than the lunch...

I don't even want to think about it. What an awful, awful, AWFUL picture I just painted...  |
