well wouldja lookit that.  another maple body essence.  kinda tempted to pick one up and see if that makes a sonic difference on a fertless set up with flats.  mine's mahogany core with walnut top.  very dark sounding.  almost too dark for my liking.  but it's a 5-er.  on the other hand, i hardly ever use the B-sttring on hte freaking thing..  i dunno.  price ain't bad.  got the scratch laying around.  kinda been in the doldrums a little lately while waiting to see if this band situation's gonna pop.  the one in denver's purtier.  imho.  ymmv.

Gone now
