It's all usable. The color gets a little odd in the middle, but it is solid. Also, if you notice the dread pattern on the left panel of the back is tilted so that avoids most of that dark center.

Brock,

There is nothing (in my mind) odd about the color, the pic seems to make it look not so solid. Plus, me not thinking dred! ;) Glad to hear its solid.

Can we get some notice when another set comes up. I can't check the forum every day and spent all day at the Colo. Luthier show and was still a day late and a dollar short.
......nice set of curves.
