Congrats Larry! Welcome to the deep end!

Nice grain!

I refer to my mapleglo 4003 as the 'butcher block'. It makes sense when you look at the backside.

Very nice mapleglo grain.

Great piece of flat sawn maple. Congrats!!! Now you are ready for your publicity photo

When did the design go to the walnut wings on the headstock? I have a '97 MG w/maple wings.

too bad about those 2 big bites taken out of either side of the nut/neck area.....

It looked to me like someone was holding it while wearing a mitten! Everytime I shopped Wildwood's site, I couldn't help but chuckle a bit.

Pete, I think they went back to the walnut headwings in 2006, one of a few more cosmetic changes they've made recently. In 2009 (or was it 2008?) they developed a new style of full-width position markers, and just this last year, have gone to a two-piece neck construction that allows good strength and a bit thinner shape.

+1 congrats

Congrats! I've seen a few MG's that I'd describe as looking reminiscent of plywood, but that's not the case with yours. Nice grain there!
