After 3 years of not having a Smith, I again own one/ Oh Happy days!

What do you think of the price $2,600? Is that pretty good?

The top looks like it could be morado based on the pic and looks like a BT5G to me.

A couple of years ago I had 2 virtually identical BT5G's. One a '92 and one a '94. Both zebra top and back, mahogany core w/walnut laminate. The only difference was one had a Pau Ferro fretboard and the other had a very nice figured ebony fretboard. I kept the '92 with the ebony fretboard.
