Excellent, Peter. It that a koa top, or maybe walnut? Anyway, she looks fabulous and I bet she sounds amazing.
 
Congrats and thanks for sharing,
Mike

Thanks guy's, Mike the top is Koa and these pictures do not even come close to the reality. Examlpe, there are streaks of red orange that do not come through. The Zebrawood comes close but what you can't see is the small swirls.  
 Shes sounds great now once I dialed her in and the Mothership's help and patience.

It's THE Zebrawood. That was a mighty log and the only almost Bird's-eye Zebrawood we've every seen. Greg Lake's guitar was made of this same wood, and we all get a thrill every time we see something made from it. I think the tally is up to about 8 instruments that we have confirmed now.  
 
Juicy!

I have a bass made of this wood too.  Maybe the count will go to 9!
 
I'll try to post pics.

Nice looking Series! I am all for seeing pictures of all these other zebrawood instruments. I've always like the look of Entwistle's zebra Series, too!

OK I'm confused, is there a reason the pictures keep disappearing?
