You know his description is misleading. It sounds like he says Mahogany top.........maybe it isn't. The second picture looks like one. The pictures are real bad, matbe I will email him.

It is a maple top. Sorry! Looks like Mahogany in the second pic.

This guitar is a regular 01 R8 with a cherry finish. I was considering buying it but decided not to, I talked to him at length on the phone and found him to be upfront. Like the rest of us here he is just a player who enjoys good guitars, sent him an email inviting him to join.
