Looks nice - assumed you procured from one of the sub-continent suppliers as they have both been advertising these for a great price.After recent discussions in the forum on SS shapes and consistence I thought I would compare the shape with my new Master 7000 (photos in the thread below) http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=34283.0To my fairly untrained eye I cant see that much difference - both have nice grains and full profile, but looks like the Maximus has a slightly higher middle with a less pronounced duckbill so may pick up slightly lighter?
