Top Spruce.
Back: Two piece Indian Rosewood.
Sides: Indian Rosewood.
Neck Mahogany, unbound
Fret Board Ebony, usually of very high quality.
Purfling Block Pattern. Alternating brown and white rectangles. (Any one know what this style is called?)
Lower Bout Trim (Strap plug hole area) Black plastic wedge with very thin black/white edge trim.
Binding White on body, none on neck.
Bridge Very high quality black ebony with no decorations, bolts, or other trim
Neck Block Construction Original footed design with no cross
bar. Block portion supporting top has two "feet" pointing towards the sound
hole.
The neck block appears to be one piece. At least.
I have not seen any Mossman guitars with laminated or built up
neck blocks. Construction is very high quality and carefully
finished. Bolt cover has heat stamped name plate stating "Flint
Hills". This plate covers the neck bolt(s). Usually, if the
guitar has had a neck reset, this thin mahogany plate is destroyed during
removal.
The neck uses simple bolt on construction. As far as I am aware,
the neck and body are finished separately.
Pickguard Same as on all Mossmans. No variations here.
