Mike Brooks Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 Nah Jim, mine is a cherry sunburst quilted maple top, from 2004-2005, a bit before the Walnut models, it's in my Photos on Facebook, you even gave it a thumbs up Jim. Mike Quote

Ohhh while I'm on...You would go and post a bound fingerbaord Jazz... just when I thought I had finished... luckily my car is *****d at the mom so I won't have any money for a thousand years...
