I think what I meant was that it's not the more common Indian Rosewood, I think more people are likely to identify it as Pau Ferro than Bolivian Rosewood?! Anyway, doesn't matter, lovely looking fingerboard and great looking bass GLWTS Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
