This February Select Series has some beautiful veneers; and I have to say I am definitely partial to the black back and sides paired up with the louro preto.

I found the same to be true with respect to my louro preto top on my X20-7. I love how it looks in different types of lighting. The chocolate grain really compliments the figuring and your are spot on about the similarities to ziricote.
