Hey Bartski, just through caution to the wind and DO IT!
You will not regret it.
A stealth black HB with ebony board and all black hardware would be insanely hot!!
Especially if along the way ya score a set of Mint Darkstars and install those in it. WOW!
Well I guess it's a good thing considering your little slice of goodness coming your way soon.

Don't say anything about throwing caution to the wind right now. Just recovered from a 24 hour coastal storm with 60mph winds and 80-90mph gusts. First time for me in hurricane force winds, not something I want to repeat anytime soon. Power went out all day - just came back on not too long ago and what do I do? Sign in to the LOG and TB

Guess I really shouldn't complain though, folks back East had/have it much worse than I did. Thankful for small blessings and Laklands that you can play without power.

Has anyone seen these pics on google?

Seems like it is a Lakland protype HB?

Someone posted in the HB club here on TB that they just bought it.
Looks amazing! WOW!

Sure Greg and Doude can shed some light on the subject

No harm, no foul my friend. And you make a good point about the F hole, was thinking the same today as a matter of fact sitting in the Bassment - yes spelling is intentional - without lights or windows.

Yeah we're fine. Didn't see any Oz-ness, but plenty of other flying stuff - glad the neighbors cat was inside. I was glad we have the Bassment. Not only is it good for keeping the low tones away from the neighbors - under the garage cement floor and cement walls on two sides - but could provide a nice little shelter should the top two stories decide to go for a stroll. Looks like we're in for round two starting tomorrow morning. Hopefully not as bad though.

Sweet! Trans is definitely the way to go on a grain like that.

Bummer about the weather Bart. Hope that's not coming south.
Spending the week in St. George, UT with extended family.
Supposed to be sunny and 70 degrees today. Just had to say that.

View from house we are renting this week.
