Holy crap, those are gorgeous. The fretboard on the first one is unbelievable! What is that, is that Madagascar rose as well? It looks like no rosewood I've ever seen!

Yep, it's Madagascar Rosewood.
Tommy (the owner of USACG) went through a lot of boards to find me that particular piece.

Wow, Chris. VERY nice!

Damn! Your "crappy mobile phone" takes some very good pictures! I could only wish mine took some as nice.

I agree with Charger, I've never seen any rosewood look as nice as that top piece.

Sounds like you need to find yourself three kickass guitars to mount them on next! ;)

Just please don't say you want to fondle his wood. We've got enough of that with those two coverups Howie and Randy. ;) :D ;D

Rudy and I, despite any hair loss that may or may not have occurred, do not wear wigs.

;) :D :D

Figured I should save that slip up confession. ;)

I have a wig suitable for Halloween, but if you two are now wearing them during other times of the year, well that's just weird!

(Maybe next time you try to make a clever reply you'll proof-read it first? :D ;D )
