Best description of the facing i've heard, although, never been to the bahamas - I bought this off a big welsh guy who was looking for a musicman to knock about during pub gigs instead of ruining the lovely timbers. However absolutely flawless build, solid and loud, loud, loud with plenty of versatility, I can tap but I don't slap and the tappings gooood. Uber light too. Jack's a top chap to deal with. Sorry to hear about the broken leg! You sound just as unlucky as me .
