Description

This Roscoe (S/N 5999) has the first spalted purple heart fretboard that we've stocked. I've only seen pictures before, but now that I've seen it in person... whoa, it's too cool!

You don't see a lot of 4-string SKBs, most Roscoe 4-strings are LGs. The SKB body is a little more rounded than the LG, though, so some folks prefer it. I put myself in that category, although I'd take any Roscoe if push came to shove.
