Well right before I left for work today the mailman stopped by. He' s actually on my good list now In the mail was a Custom BossTom purple heart & osage orange striker. For starters... any LSU fans would love this striker!!! This striker feels great, looks great and sounds great on the calls I had a chance to run it on. Really like it on " my" Sassafras slate over glass. Thanks Adrian for a great product!! Posting a pic that BossTom had used on ebay for this striker so you can see....
