thanks,
Just so you know, it arrived unscathed yesterday and it's a fine thing. I'm very happy with it, and it'll have a good life here. I've already levelled/crowned/dressed/polished the frets, so it's better than new.
I'm a little surprised at the weight. I expected it to be heavier than it is. Also, I thought the grain would be as tight as pau ferro, but it's not. It's more like cherry. That's not a problem at all, just an observation. I also like what you get with kingwood. It does seem to be as tight and hard as ebony, without the weight but with all the character kingwood has. it's a nice combo, if someone would like the performance of ebony over maple without the need for a finish, but with a somewhat lighter weight and a unique appearance.
