I have vague recollections of the Owner discussing this instrument on the board some time ago.

wouldn't a roundback make nearly any top sound better? :eek:

Interesting, to say the least. Whoever did this, did a good job. :)

The original top was fatally damaged as a result of an accidental involvement with a foot!
How about the one I saw pic's of from the 2005 OFC tour? :D

Also interesting that they decided to "bob" the wings from the sides of the headstock, a place often quite prone to damage.
