I LOVE the look below (w/ Spalted Maple), and I think the spalted Koa top would look great treated the same. But maybe that's just me.

This one has been put on reserve by Mike in Virgina! Thanks, Mike!

It's now slated to be fretted with J/MM pickups and a hardshell case!

And here's a Koa top that I've converted to a live order to replace the one in my production pipeline that was pre-sold yesterday.

Roscoe Century Standard Plus 5 FL (Koa)


As with all the Roscoe I have on order, the specs are not necessarily set in stone. If Roscoe has not gotten too far into the production process, then we can usually change some or even all of the specs. So if this is close to what you want but not exactly... let me know, and I'll see what we can do!

Oh, and here's another order that I just put up on my site. This is a special order for Mark in SC.

Joe - this is the one that Mark S. ordered! Thanks to both Mark (for the order) and you (for the referral)!

I am officially getting jealous. I would love to see the birdseye diamondwood on one of those SQM FLs.

Gard just hit me with a couple of progress photos. Thanks, Gard!

One bass is for a special order for Mark in SC, the other is for my inventory (and it's got the JM pickup configuration!). Both basses should be completed within 2-4 weeks.
