Wow- hard to believe that's wood.  Incredible top and the back is just as beautiful.

WOW!
 
I'm guessing that more than a few folks are seriously wishing they had gotten their hands on that plank.
 
I think Danno might have passed up his usual black paint thanks very much for a shot at this one.
 
Once again WOW! ... just WOW!!!

I keep looking at these wood samples, and I keep saying that they are the most beautiful pieces that I've seen--------but-hell this is another classic of all time.
Let's thank Mica & co (and Chip) for being able to foresee such beauty.
 
Gulp!!!!!!!

Utterly mind-boggling!
 
If I wasn't getting Coco Bolo for the legendary sound, I think this wood would be my wood of choice!

OK, I like my bass a lot (Karen's), but that is one cool piece of wood you have there.

Man, that wood's about as inconspicuous as a bear in a phone booth!!!  What a stunning instrument!  What electronics did you spec, Chuck?

Judging from the routing and drill pattern, I'd say it's a standard Series II.
 
Hope you're getting chrome or nickel hardware.  IMO it would go better with the wood than the
gold.
