Musashimonkey Posted July 10, 2016 Author Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) Thank you. 😊 The build quality of this is stunning. The wood choice is exceptional and detail to finish is excellent. Super playable and sounds superb too! Lots of bass here for the money. Edited July 10, 2016 by Musashimonkey
arpi Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Hello, everytime I see a Roscoe 3006 I ask myself if they have neckdive because of the relatively small body and the upper cutaway (doesen´t know the right expression in engl.) going only to the 13th fret. What´s the weight and the Stringspacing? Cheers Arpi

Musashimonkey Posted July 11, 2016 Author Posted July 11, 2016 Yep, perfect balance. The lightweight neck, small head, lightweight tuners and strap pin positions make it balance really nicely with the solid non-chambered body. No issues at all. String spacing is currently 18mm, it weighs 4.2kg.
