A Black DIF


solving

Recommended Posts

I will have to pass on the ebony DIF. The nicest DIF I have ever seen

is owned by a forum member and has a natural back and sides. Painting

the body black covers the best features of the guitar: the wood.

 

Just my $.02

 

It's hard to tell from the pictures and I haven't looked at the specs but are we sure this is "painted black" and not stained black? If it's stained black then the wood grain will still be visible.

We're certainly all different.

 

Personally:

-Don't care for all black bodies.

-Least favorite shape is the square-shoulder.

-Nothing left to offset the over-the-top bling.

 

But others will love this & it's great to have choices.
