I got my bundle of tops yesterday. Unbelievable! Each set has a flaw, but most of the ones I got, I can work around. Some will reverse match just fine, since the grain distribution is so even. Hard to believe how good most of it looks. There are a few that can't be salvaged, but not the case for most of mine. Might be harder if my tops were bigger, though.

I received mine the other day also and emailed Shane letting him know how happy I was with the deal. Lots-o-tops for soundhole and fingerboard patches and should be able to sneak a few small tops out of it too.

Just got mine today. Ran one through the planer and then sander. What a beauty. Except for a couple, definitely workable and to me very usable as tops. I don't mind a little blemish here are there. Thanks, Shane.

Did you guys actually receive word about the bundle with tracking number? Maybe I'm not in this batch but I've not received any notification of any kind.

Thanks,
Charlton

Mine arrived on Friday. Thickness sanded the saw marks on the first three sets and looks to me like the flaws are easily worked around. Hard to beat for $10 a set.

Another happy customer here! A few of mine seem to have their flaws outside the pattern or in the soundhole area! A few more will make very nice 4 pc tops. Only 3 or 4 practice sets.
