I noticed the Rays are unfinished on the back, like they usually are- does anybody know (BP) if the Bongos are finished (like they usually are)? I have a rosewood Bongo coming soon, ... Brandt have you heard anything????

BP said EBMM wouldn't put paint on rosewood we are a paying a premium for.

Let me rephrase that- I meant clear finish, like on the headstock of the Ray rosewoods. If you notice there is a line where the clear finish stops at the bottom of the headstock on the Ray. That rosewood grain does look deep when it's finished(clear)- me likee! :D

I believe that the Bongo neck will have finish on the headstock like the pic of the Stingray and the rest of the neck will be naked.

Argh! Stupid recession. I really wanted one of those, but fiscal responsibility won out. True Gold with rosewood neck in a Bongo 4H would have been killer.

That's too much for an old man to look at. Way too nice!

Would it be breaking any forum rules if our fine vendors made a list of what they had coming with Rosewood Necks without posting prices? JOSH

All the RW necks are oil finised, don't you remember the ad when dargin presented them?

To be totally honest, I purposely stayed away from that entire thread. At the time I was scraping money together for the my new house purchase. I actually had to sell a few of my beloved balls, :( but I will buy some NEW ones someday. ;)
