Gorgeous. Box Elder is highly under-rated. Keith has a couple in his gallery if ever they came up for sale I would be interested. Especially either of these :

I have had many wedge neck and wenge fingerboards. The tonal qualities are wonderful (especially with the maple in the middle like these wedge necks). The open grain under my fingers bugs me ever so slightly which is why this one will have a PINK IVORY FINGERBOARD. My other Roscoes have...

I misspoke, it is a Bart pre.

I've got one in the works: Century Signature 5, Exhibition Box Elder Burl Front and Back, Wenge Shim, Black Limba Body, Wenge Wedge Neck, Pink Ivory Fingerboard, Bart Soaps, Bart OBP3 Pre with Active/Passive, Ivory Nut, Abalone 12th fret, Black Hardware.

@Nightman they are so the audience can fact check my intonation! Actually, they are on both sides. Same with my (now gone) F bass AC

Been through so many: G&L, Fender, Aria, Modulus, Pedulla, Sadowsky Metro, Ibanez, STR, Benavente, Drozd, Antares, Riverhead, Surine, Warwick, Human, Steinberger, Smith, Elrick, Roscoe, MTD. Without a doubt the winners are: MTD, Roscoe, Elrick and Smith. Wish I hadn't sold my Elrick Platinum...
