Nice, Bill. Looks fab on the walnut as well.
Can we have everything louder than everything else?

So how did one obtain a Black/Black 4003 with the pinstripe binding? Was it an option for a time? Or were they a limited production run? Or a one-off?
Re: Pin Stripe Binding
Did I just spot another on eBay? Is this binding only rare on Jetglo?

Re: Pin Stripe Binding
No, it's just rare. I've never seen it on Mapleglo like that. Interesting!
