Title: "Gravelly Bob" is in the house!

FedEx just delivered the L-03SO (Grevillea Robusta) that I ordered from Jason at Notable Guitars. He (aka Gravelly Bob) is still in the shipping box, I'll wait a day or so before the big unveiling. Hopefully his sound will belie his new nickname! Refreshments for all! :donut :donut :donut :donut2 :donut2 :coffee :coffee :donut2 :donut2 :donut :donut :donut

(Grevillea Robusta) = Gravelly Bob I get it... Great play on words for the name. I definitely want to know how it compares to your other guitars, and pics would be cool.

Got Gravelly Bob unpacked today, and all I can say is "Wow!" Allow me to quote zoeieio's superb description of his new Grevillea Robusta:

"This L-03SO (Silver Oak) or (Grevillea Robusta) just sings! It is extremely balanced and just plain sings!! By that I mean that it has a built in chorus effect without the electronic garbage. That's the best definition of a singing guitar that I can give. The lows have great depth...the mids and highs project. They are not thinned or muffled sounding. Very clear and defined."

zoeieio is right on the money, this guitar just rings out! Jason at Notable did a super setup (including adding D'Addario EXP lights), this thing plays like buttah... I'll definitely have to come up with a new nickname because despite the Grevillea Robusta finish (very nice!) "Gravelly Bob" is just so out of character for this little sweetie.

Pics to follow.

How do you know what's in the box until you open it? Don't take any chances...get that thing open. NOW!
