Monty is clearly the best brown RIC ever produced. I love AG and Walnut but Monty has a depth and richness that goes beyond them. If I remember correctly, there is actually some blue pigment in the mix.

Tony, if you ever want to sell your VP let me know.
Buy it before someone else does.

You got it Bob,

If she goes, you have first call, that's a promise.

I SHOULD have kept the Monty fretless. That is only one of the TWO "bass selling" regrets I have.

I gave into temptation to the new side dots & the new neck profile of an AFG.

Lastly, my 1979 4001 MG FL. BOTH involved making peace....dammit.

Fretless is coooool! Image
And you're absolutely right, Tony. Or so Busker told me. Image

John does look pretty comfy, doesn't he? Chillin' out, getting ready for a serious round of 'bottles' later in the day!! Image
