Is that a flamed mple fretboard? how rre is that amongst sweet peas???

[Baron Collins-Hill]

wow again,

the spruce top has some wierd figure sort of thing, not really bearclaw. anyone know what this is?

[Baron Collins-Hill]

why yes, the fretboard is a bit flamey, you must be some sort of psychic wombat electrician

heres a better shot of the flameyness

[Baron Collins-Hill]

ok, this is really wierd, crazy big pictures.

heres the label, signed bruce weber)

[Baron Collins-Hill]

wow, lots of big, blurry pictures...

the sound is better than the other 2 sweet peas that i have played, but probably becuase it is broken in. it is quite loud, mainly. its got a real nice high end, and the open G is suprizingly Bass-y. the only lack of tone is the midrange, which gets drowned out by the extremes. it seems to be a good classical mando and is definitely not a bluegrasser. i think it will suit me quite well for what i am trying to get out of it.

i agree, i made you a tuning bottle, basically a plastic soda bottle filled with a certain amount of water, and when you blow across the top, you get a perfect g, you could bring that to canada or make your own, it's pretty neat btw got a scroll you could post in the scroll section??? just kidding.
