LMAO

Retified Maple (SP?) neck lamintie stripe on the 330? So much for shedua or any of the the other guesses as to the "stripe" species. Likely another subtle improvement over the old methods while maintaining the heritage.

Sorry Mr Hall, I misled the label

No, no, Pearl Red is the Chinese lady that worked on this guitar.

That's exactly what happened.

Ha! I noted that at about 11:25 of the companion video (vintage archive) you posted on the RIC site forum, he mispronounces it again, and then corrects himself.
I said it wrong for years before learning the correct way (shortly before owning a Rick).

oohhh... I like that new Pearl Midnite Blue... verry nice..

We're back to using Walnut, which you should have to trouble spelling. That Maple was so hard it was wearing out all our tools, but of course the oiginal use of the process was by cavepersons who wanted to harden their spears.

Not the Walnutburst, perchance?

I don't mind pronunciation, it's a cool video!
