OK I've had this for a few days but today was the first time I got to really put her through the paces.

It's hard to tell, Roger says she has a carmel finsh over black limba but there is a very subtle reddish burst too,

It's flawless the neck is perfect general neck shape is based on a 50's Gibson which is a 'C' shape at the body end tapering down to a light'V' shape at the nut endand it's chunky with a nice volute. The Fretbaord is Madagascar Rosewood and I love this material and it really goes well with the finish. Pups are vintage Fralins with the neck being 15% underwound. Great clear tone monsters they are. No rwrp and I don't miss it.

Playability is great. It's not a brick I bet it doesn't go over 7lbs.

I think I've found my P90 dream.

Congrats!!!!! That is awesome!

I too remember seeing this one for sale and thinking that is one of the nicest looking guitars I have ever seen. Great unique design and such a looker.

Simply stunning. I love that color on that wood. It's a homerun for sure.
