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.

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

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.

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.
