Annoying Twit Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) I've never seen one that looks like this. Current model though. [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yamaha-RBX170EW-Electric-Bass-Guitar-Natural-/331229126301?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4d1ecb5e9d"]http://www.ebay.co.u...=item4d1ecb5e9d[/url] Very nice finish. Not enough to mean that it will sell at that price IMHO, but you never know. Edited June 10, 2014 by Annoying Twit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying Twit Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1402406267' post='2473092'] Mango top...never seen that used before... [/quote] I've seen a mango wood ukulele, and it looked very nice. I can't remember which brand. But, it looked vaguely like this: except, not that spalted. Maybe this one: I've read somewhere the using fruit wood for instruments is ecologically sensible as the trees are being grown anyway. Walnut being an example I've heard of. Here's a link about the wood.

Here's a page about cury mango for luthiery.
