 that top and the one on my SII are very similar.  LEDs.  looks like an ebony neck lam and a maple body. those two together probably make it sound a whole lot better than yer average essence or europa whether apart or grafted together.  i like it but definitely not the barhopper i'm thinking of.  4200 euros (can't make my crappy android tablet keyboard do anything but yankee) is about that much $USD these days.  plus whatever it takes to get it stateside.  if yer willing to take the risk. 

~11.6 U.S. lbs. - not bad. this won't be a small and petite instrument. make a nice player for someone

Madagascar ebony is another of my favourite alembic dark woods. From what i have been reading, that wood is on the cites list and closely regulated, so a buyer should beware.

I asked the seller for a swap

Wow fingers crossed for you.

Thank you, but unfortunately the seller doesn't want to go further on that way.

So GLWTS for him!
