Greetings,

Never posted here before. Picked up two Lakland US models in the past month or so and I'm impressed, mostly with the feel of the necks.

I found a 2009 US made Joe Osborn 4 with a rosewood board, with blocks and binding, here locally and don't remember ever seeing a US 44-60 with the blocks/binding option. Do you guys see many of those?

Welcome & congrats! B&B US JO's aren't very common, I was lucky enough to find this 2007 gem a few weeks back. No binding, but the blocks are intense! What's the other US you scored?

Thanks guys, Leo said it will be a one of a kind, no other like it. I say "There can be only one."

All black hardware, maple neck and matte black guard.

BTW - He mentioned they had to buy an entire sheet of the pickguard material, so if anyone needs a Lakland guard in matte black .09" thick, get in touch with them.

Very nice, Brian!

I actually may be going to the shop this Friday to see Carl (depends if my work schedule stays meeting-free that day). If I do go and you want any additional pics, let me know.

That's very cool of you Greg, if you get around to it great, if not, no worries. Very much appreciated.

ALRIGHT I'm kind of freaking out...found a 2006 Dude Pit DPLEII (BG+Darkstar) on ebay and hit the buy it now.

I currently own a lakland darkstar (from 2005 actually) and TODAY I was playing it, kind of wishing I had a jazz neck on it, kind of wishing I had block inlays, totally wishing it was white instead of 3ts. And well...

Now I'll have it all. Wowza. Freaking out. That being said, I'm going to mention my 2005 BG DS to ONE guy local, and if he passes it's up for sale...

Also, I've never officially signed up as a LOG here on TB. I always feel like my collection is shifting slightly, and I want to nail it down. I'm a weirdie. But I'm pretty sure I'm like...there. I have the Darryl Jones fretless+chi sonics with ebony/BEM blocks (you guys know the one? sex machine) and a USA Decade in 3ts with darkstars as well as this new DPLEII. I think my collection is SET.

Well I'm excited! Ahh!!!
