I had been told by someone that RIC didn't even make Laredos in MG. Looks cool! The walnut wings, of course, look killer.

The walnut wings and pickup location make it unique.
Most of the ones I've seen with the wings have the other pickup location.

NICE!!!!!
I didn't even notice the p/u location until Scott mentioned it and that is usually one of the first things that catches my eye.

Yeah, I hadn't caught the pickup postitions either. I wonder if it went out MG because the grain was so nice the factory hated to paint it?

Hmm. None of the photos show the edge of the body very well. I wonder if it is MG Cheyenne with the hardware and TRC traded out for chrome? If we could see the body edge, it would display the maple/walnut/maple sandwich construction of the Cheyenne, not used on the Laredo.

My guess is we should be able to see a sandwich on the first pix upper/inner horn, if it is a Cheyenne. It looks solid maple.

I have to agree with Charly that it's a Laredo. There is enough of the upper horn showing to say it doesn't have the walnut sandwich.

Wow!
When I was looking for a Laredo I originally wanted a MG...but when I saw my FG I said "Maple-what???"
Boy, that things a looker! Not enough to make me feel bad for getting my FG, but man 'o man...
