Yes, Al P was misled by the very old and almost black Brazilian. The golden streaks really show in the sunlight! And the African Kiatt bindings and bevels compliment it perfectly, IMNSHO. The whole thing is super pretty, and super comfortable too!

The bass is stupendous yet the whole axe is still superbly balanced. Both the trebles and mids are nice and FAT.

She goes to my tech Pat Quinn today for one of his super duper BIG flamenco style clear, thin, and super hard pick guards. They do a great job of protecting the top and I can not hear a difference in tone with the four he has done for me so far.

Play on and tune up often
