Neat bass, but the top and back looks more like Koa to me. But Walnut does get lighter over time. I wonder what is S.HILL?

I've been wondering the same thing. Somebody's name? Somebody who likes an extra purpleheart neck lam?  ;D

I was guessing Nara on the top wood, but I can see Koa too. The little knots are interesting.  ;)
