 Something abut the tobacco sunburst, understated and subdued ...................... I love it. I think the black hardware looks better with this finish than the Pelham Blue.

Now, now, now, Scott, don't get all relativist and soft with age!

I hate hardware liberals.

I think black is OK on this bass and best on the white TB I have.  I am still leaning toward chrome hardware.

Here are some new, natural light shots of my NR.........still beautiful.  I gotta give Gibson credit for wood selection and finishing.  Well done.

Beautiful! I called Curt yesterday to tell him I was more than pleased with the NR and he mentioned the Gibson rep was in the store with him at the time. The rep was taking an NR home with him!
I asked Curt to ask the rep how many of these NRs  Gibson was building. He said he didn't know for sure but that this first run was composted of 400 total. He also said it was likely that your burst and mine were two of the very first ones out the door.

Cool!  I'm very pleased with mine.
