Thank you! I was afraid someone was going to tell me that the wood was not original.
Downside is that it's not original. Upside is that it's 10x as pretty as original wood would be. If it was a rare model and cartridge, I'd be bummed that a real collectible had been altered and the value might have dropped.. but 99EG's and 99R's are very common and I personally don't think that stock hurts the value at all, probably the reverse.
Texgunner, heck of a cool rack on that guy!
