Nice looking, but one can acquire a 1993 maple version with one extra string in great condition for almost $2000 less from me. With that savings, one could even fly RT from Europe to the U.S. to pick it up.

Dan is correct. Maple top and mahogany body with more purpleheart stringers than I can count.
