Awe I don’t see a pic

I fixed my original post with screen grabs. For some reason the image links went dead.

Actually I don't think so (only @hansmoust can out-Ralf Ralf!). It appears that our member @Rich Cohen used to own one, and the corrected specs are in the Reverb listing when he sold it.


"The body shape is loosely based on the early F-40 model, otherwise known as concert size. The nut and compensated saddle are made from fossilized mammoth ivory found legally on the tundra in Alaska. The peghead is faced with solid ebony and showcases the traditional "inverted G" pattern in mother-of-pearl. The Custom Shop luthiers painstakingly inlaid the top, fingerboard, peghead and back strip with rare paua abalone from New Zealand. The top is made from AAA-grade Sitka Spruce, the back and sides from hand-bent solid curly maple. The tiger-striping on the neck is the best I've ever seen. The fretboard and bridge are made of ebony. The original gold neck plated strap button is included.

The OHSC is itself very special, with a stunning "black alligator" cover, green luxurious velvet inside, and obviously constructed of sturdy materials, as it weighs more than most cases I've ever lifted. It is in mint condition.

Note: width of lower bout and depth at lower bout corrected.
Specs: Width at Lower Bout: 15 5/8"
Depth at Lower Bout: 4 3/4"
Body Length: 20" Scale Length: 25.5" Nut Width: 1.75"

Perhaps Rich will chime in with some thoughts on his. It sure is pretty!

That is nice ! Bling city !

Awwww, c'mon Ray!! It's got beautiful abalone purfling that's so beautifully done. I think it gets missed in the mix because of the wild and crazy Koa with all that grain pattern, but it's still beautiful. Are you cranky today??

Also, check out that diamond pattern G-shield!! So nice!!

Zoom in on the finger board inlay . I think the GSR I had the fingerboard inlay was a tad off center .
But hey what can I say I’m anal about things being right especially for all that money ! Lol
