Is that Andy Partridgewood or Danny Partridgewood? Huge difference in texture and quality. Mike |

That's the first I've heard of a Partridgewood fingerboard. |

The only songs that fret correctly on it are "I Think I love You" and "C'mon Get Happy", and you gotta wear a mullet Mike (I got a dozen of 'em)

Here's what I found on Partridgewood, from www.cocoboloinc.com "Caesalpinia libidibia Extremely heavy and dense chocolate brown to black colored wood from South America. 70 to 82 lbs per cubic foot. Takes a magnificent polish. Used for fine articles of turnery."

Funny no one mentions a gem like Making Plans for Nigel when Andy Partridge is mentioned. Love the www.cocoboloinc.com link. (Message edited by adriaan on September 09, 2004) |
