Did you have a special reason to choose Redwood for these anniversary basses, Ken? I don't think this wood is very common and was not used much beside this model...

I had it this very old Redwood that I had recently purchased just laying around with no special place to use it. I also had a bunch of old tiger maple cut up for core sets, about 45-50 sets worth just stacked in the shelf so I glued them up together for this model and it was very well received.

Indeed Jens! It is very eye catching and everything else you can expect from a Smith! Maybe even more :-) (The EVH was nothing for me! and it made me very clear dat a Smith is my thing!) Stil fancy your Ritter though :-)

Greetz,
Dirk
