Fusion Elite wood combination

Got it... Now as far as the Top Macassar Eboy, is there availability of High exhibition grade? Looking for 5A really dark with some streaking.

There are no grades.. Just Ebony. The pieces vary and what the look like after splitting open is different than the outside. We only cook em to order..

Ken, going with the "6FEG" with the all dark woods combination my question is on the 7pc bodies having the extra 2 laminates would you used the lighter (maple) laminate against the dark T & B and a slight darker laminate against the Walnut? Sorry maybe dumb question but want to make sure am completely sure. I found this picture of a 5pc laminate Ebony T/B with Walnut core and the maple laminates and kind of maid me wonder

Not sure I know what you mean on that pic. It looks perfect. For a 7pc with dark cores and tops, the other color of laminate would be mahogany against the walnut. Less of a contrast. The dark on dark works better with the 5pc body if color contrast is your concern.

Like you stated the bass in the picture is completely perfect that's for sure!!! as I matter of fact its the look that am trying to achieve as with the sound we all know it will have the KSB sound!
My concern with the Ebony is that I would like a certain type of color and look and from what u explained it seems that it's kind of a picking a draw... What you pick is what I get.
Don't mean it to sound bad but I am going to purchase top of the Line KSB I would like to get a certain look. Am looking into actually visiting the facility in the next month or so as i have a to travel to Allentown PA for work for about a week or so and we can finalize the purchase.

Ok, you can see the woods we have then. Might take a few months to see all of it, maybe more, So we will be busy when you get here!..

I won't have a month to look at potential Tops, but am sure that you have a nice Private Stack of Ebony somewhere in the building that will make it much easier to choose from..

I will email you once I have the possible date of visit and also start working on the final number to get the built moving forward.

Thanks Ken!!!
