steve Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 that fretboard is fabulous. I have a very early 4 string version of these - its fantastic to play, and the pickups and preamps sound really nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickThomas Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 This looks good for me . Russ buys the Roscoe and does all the legwork getting it down from up North. He gets bored of it after a year and that way I only have a 20 minute drive to go take it off his hands lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to try it out though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
