Help identifying this fretboard wood

Hi Guys,
I recently purchased this 1984 AutumnGlo 360. I immediately noticed the fretboard is quite figured but cannot identify the wood. I've never seen a 360 with a fretboard like this- any ideas or suggestions as to what it may be? Here are a few pictures.
Best Regards,
Ray[url]

Welcome to the forum. That's quite a lovely piece of Bubinga!

Thanks for that very quick reply, John. I've been a member for a while now, but don't get to visit as often as I like (insert poor excuse emoticon here). I still see a couple of the guys at the Philly shows, but it's nose to the grindstone most of the time. Thanks for your help- I appreciate it!
Best,
Ray

Nice 84! This would make a good candidate for full width CP inlays. Combined with that fretboard wood, it would be something else!

My pleasure Ray - we have probably run into each other at Chris' booth at the Philly show.
Stick around and please show us the rest of the guitar!

Beautiful. Look at that ramp!! CNC programmers take note:
that's how they should look.

I wish I could photograph a Fireglo that well. Nice guitar!

Marshall,
You've got yourself a rare bird and a real looker!
I think I speak for all when I ask for more photos.

Hi Robert,
I don't want the mods to mistake any of my posts as advertising- it's my understanding that promoting a business here is seriously frowned upon, but if you think it would be okay to post the link to the guitar's page on our website, I'd be happy to do that.

Marshall:
When was this one made? 1984? Sn should start with X...
