Dane,

Whoever did this has restored my faith in the death penalty.

That wood is mighty fine--perfect for a piece of ash (said Emmylou to Darryl).

By the way, is that an ash body? looks pretty light for Mahog...
I think it's mahogany. They used a lot of lighter shade 'hog back then, like this;

My oh my, said the spider to the fly. That's a beautiful 70. I still the 300 looks a little pale even to the lightest Hog.

Well it is pretty light;

But the close grain looks like mahogany.

The ash is a wide grain like this;

Even if the ash was stained, it would look like this;

And if it was ash, wouldn't it have an ash neck?
