Got to admit the 505 false grains looks very good.

I can see a market for fake grain scuff sheets with 20 ruler straight grains being snapped up by forum members ;)

All the same grade of willow, just depends how clean the grains are. 606 should be the best but no harm in knocking up some 404/505's as well, see if one sounds better off a mallet. I've seen 15 grain 404's that could easily pass for 707's. Bleaching and fake grains sheets are akin to fraud in my book - attempting to hide something from the consumer. All bats should shown in there original form.

GM don't make one according to the website - would be a very interesting proposition. A cheap bat with a big (but heavy) profile.
