If you're asking the Core question it looks dark like Walnut. Probably Peruvian Walnut we used back then but some better side shots close-up would help me better.

I'm going to take some new shots when I get off work today so' I'll post them later on tonight, after Praise and Worship rehearsal. Hopefully Ken will be able to identify them with a better shot.

Yes, get a shot with the body angled such that you can see the lams clearly.
