Here's the gorgeous top laminate: And with a 'tone swipe to show it off: This is a total knockout piece of wood. flaxattack Senior Member Username: flaxattack Post Number: 1739 Registered: 4-2004 Posted on Wednesday, October 31, 2007 - 4:57 pm:    oh no........its that board again,,,,,,,, lol very appropriate on haloween i see ghosts and goblins susan Moderator Username: susan Post Number: 94 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, October 31, 2007 - 5:12 pm:    Yes, It's a stunning piece. When it looks this good with only an acetone swipe to highlight the figuring, you know it's going to be outstanding with a fresh sanding and the real deal finish on it. FYI-I had set this piece aside for myself but the customer's needs come first. Dante's going to have a beautiful guitar.

Great guitar! You probably should give them a call since Mica is on vaca soon and might not see your request here in a timely manner. That's the best way to get the change on your order. georgie_boy Advanced Member Username: georgie_boy Post Number: 305 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Friday, November 16, 2007 - 9:58 am:    Phenomenal wood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
