Very cool and great to see another lefty!
How does the tone differ from the usual basswood versions?

BIG congrats! Never having previously been much of a Bongo fan......I find every wood and aspect MUCH more to my liking. Easy on the eyes, too. I would, however, fix your pics - they're turned around backwards and give it that "lefty" look

I don't know, I have never even seen a lefty Bong before this one! I can say that it does sound awesome and looks sweet!

Congrats on this most awesome NBD!!
