oooh, very nice

I always did like to see the grain of the wood in a guitar, a natural finish is both pleasing to the eye and finger-tips.
Mine's an old westone 4 string, fretless with split mid and an extra bridge pickup (a seymore-something or other). It's a passive doodad, so sometimes the brightness is difficult to bring out (especially with flatwound strings), but it has a lovely warm tone to it.
It was second hand when I bought it but it's a lovely solid instrument.

I should really play it more often.
