  1. Here's a photo. I think in fact I've been fooling myself (not that it matters): it's just dark rosewood I am sure. Ebony has a finer grain I think.
  2. Hello, I have two H-150s: one that I bought 2nd hand in about 1999 after seeing it in a then-local shop window is a really nice yellowy flame maple top and has quite un-LP-ish hardware including a roller bridge, and which I think has an ebony fingerboard (if its rosewood it's very dark); and one which I bought new in 2003 I think so I could have a guitar at each end of my 400-mile weekly commute, which is a not-so-nice purply colour, is really too heavy and has a much fatter neck than the first one, but has HRWs, which I found difficult at first but would not be without now, even if the guitar is otherwise not so nice (it makes my shoulder numb). HRWs through a KTR are a thing to behold. A few weeks ago I gave in and bought a rather sad single-pickup H-575 as a friend for my ES-175, which had previously had the standard truss-rod break, which failed again on the way to me. That's now being mended (for money off): I quite like guitars which force me to play better to make them sound good, and I'm hoping this will be even more in that regard than the 175 is. There's a thread about this guitar here. I live in the UK, I'd like to be able to play jazz, but I'm not good enough (yet). I should say that the two H-150s were really bought for me by my wife: I'm lucky to have her. Picture of the two H-150s below: the H-575 is being mended.
