Post by null_pointer »

Ok thought I'd try it on. Have a mate in Portland next month who can pick it up in person if it turns to custard, so incoming:

This is a Classic Antique, which comes with the ML (Martin Landau) singles as opposed to the V70s in a Classic Pro.

And that Fauxjo.

Before you point out the obvious, yes I have just had a surf green, however my first choice of yellow is literally not for sale anywhere currently without a custom order, and this is the cool thin skin jobby where the grain is semi-visible.

Good on you! I am a great supporter of other people taking risks.
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

From shop, and the risk is whether I can get it shipped without a Rosewood Nazi at customs closing the door on me

Unless of course it was made in Mexico then they send it out immediately with its relatives.

Apparently it only matters for Indian Rosewood if you are importing more than 10kg at a time.

But I don't want to be a guinea pig for that, so let us know how you get on :)
