I just purchased this long scale, standard point from club member Treje a few weeks ago and would like to find out about it. In particular, is the top koa or tinted flame maple?

Thanks Mica. Myrtle top, huh? That's wild, my guess was way off. I'll send you a recording when we get some done...it's aged a lot better than I have, and sounds UNBELIEVABLE!
