New Roscoe Special Order - Lefty LG-3000 (XQM/BEM)

Another day, another special order for a Roscoe from a guy named Lary! Happens all the time.

OK, so yesterday was Larry, and today it's Lary. That's close enough to point out, I say!!

Anyway, this gorgeous XQM top will become S/N 6220 for Lary's son. Should be killer!

Awesome piece of quilt! That is definitely 5A exhibition quilt!

Quiet honestly though I'm a bit leery of what you said about Larry and Lary!

My dad bought me my first car in 1980, it was a 1971 Pinto Stationwagon we converted into a panel wagon, it cost $500.

Looking Verrrrrry Good!
It's pointing the wrong way for most of us but looking good.
That top is amazing!
Congrats to Lary.

I just had some! My boys had an early release from school today, so they're hanging with dear old dad at the store today. Ben & Jerry's is a block away, and it just had to be done on a gorgeous day like today...

Thanks all. My son Harry (two r's) is extremely excited. His exact words were "Ooh wow. Beautiful." Big brother's description: "Wow. Awesome."
And, for the record, Harry got a five year old used car (mine), so he gets the Roscoe for early graduation. Think of it as me planning for my retirement when he makes the big time.
Thanks again Greg.

Hah! I'm happy to be blowing $5 at a pop with my boys at their current ages (7 & 8). Ice cream still makes them think I'm king of the world! I suspect life is going to take a drastically more expensive turn in 5-6 years...

Thanks again, Lary - I hope Roscoe knocks Harry's socks off!!

And the bass for Lary's son was also completed and shipped earlier this week. Congrats, Lary, she's a beaut!

And thanks again to Gard for the pics!

Thanks all. My southpaw son just about did cartwheels when he saw the pics. He is salivating to get it next week and start the Roscoe experience. I'll try to send in some pics from his band's gig in a few weeks

Wow! That top and fingerboard were born for each other.
Kudos to the guys at Roscoe and congrats to Lary's son!
