Here's mine. I am really, really glad I changed my order to the tobacco burst! Mine seems darker than Bill's: my photos were taken in crappy light since it was already dark when I got home. And it SOUNDS phenomenal!

Magnolia couldn't wait to sit on the box.

Looks real nice!  Interesting to see that volute on the neck.  Has Gibson been doing that again?

I'm waiting for Mark to provide his inventory of chrome "upgrades".....

But it looks really nice!

A beauty, and it does look slightly darker than Bill's.

Ooh, lovely.  I looked at the photos on my phone and didn't see the cat until I fire them up on my PC!

These are the first maho necks with a volute Gibson has ever done (on basses, don't know about guitars). Strangely, in the seventies and later, all the volutes were on maple necks which have a higher stability than maho in that area. I never understood why. Even if it breaks all the same, a voluted neck will at least give you more glue surface for a repair so it would have been logical to equip the maho necks and especially the sleek TBird maho necks with volutes.

Sure, I will be glad to do this tonight when I get home. I'll have to rig up some lighting since it's already dark when I get home.

Didn't some years of the LP Bass have a volute?

The maho guitars did.
