Amen OWF.  And I also hope Hogeye is doing well.

I was just doing some reading on Richlite (got a little something coming in with it), skipped the OWF vid in this thread, but your posts made me go back up & give a listen. Sometimes you just have to appreciate the technology- how nice we can still hear a tune by Wily.

No, not wood. But it's not plastic, either. It looks like unblemished black ebony. It's a man-made material probably a little harder than ebony. Watch that video in Rabs' post. The choice ebony on this planet is about used up. Of course, there are still ebony boards in the used market.

I thought Richlite was compressed paper based fiber composites and resin to make a hard slab on fake wood stuff.

My buddy had a richlite board on an SG he had. It was okay. Looks kind of like ebony. Who knows how it will hold up in 40 years?
