Congrats to the proud papa! Unreal top. Besides the usual  Q switches, what are the extra controls? Have fun!

Beautiful CB top. Nice contrast between the dark and red-orange hues, is one a switch for and if so which LED color did you choose?

Thanks!  I'm in the low zone heaven!  This girl has anniversary electronics, and the LEDs are all red.  I'm an amateur astronomer, and red is the best for keeping night vision, so it was a natural choice here, although by the time I became the purchaser the choice was already made.  I know everyone says this, but pictures simply do not do justice to the activity going on in this wood.  I'll post more pictures once I manage to put it down....

Congratulations Mark. That's a beautiful instrument for sure. Enjpy her for years to come. I've grown very fond of the LEDs on my basses, playing in small clubs with poor lights.
