I found a sweet playing Elan, but the dark top wood is a mystery to me. It's colored like Cocobolo, but the grain is too straight & choppy. (Message edited by longhorncat on March 03, 2009) |

Straight-grained coco bolo can be seen on the Coco Bolo Fantasy Featured Custom. |

The coloring looks like Coco Bolo to me too. Another possibility might be Bubinga. |

Could it be Vermilion? I don't think it's Bubinga. It doesn't have the signature splotchiness like my old Vector Persuader: (Message edited by longhorncat on March 05, 2009) |
