I did Paul, do you want the high grade or lower grade one?

Either way it is yours.

Thanks

Here the pics of the $60 EIR sets. I am on dial up so doing pics is a lot of work but I know that pics really do help in decision making!



















More wood pics to come!

This Bubinga is WILD!! LMI has hi figure sets for over $400. These are more than 25% cheaper. The quilt coupled with the colour will make these sets truly show stopping guitars. My supplier has informed me that they are not likely to get more with this figure again! It was not cheap but I think the results were worth the investment. I have over 70 sets of varying degrees of figure from the same board. These 9 are best with sap wood in them.



















Set #9 is the same set as the example posted in the beginning of thread. I wiped on low odor thinner to bring out the figure although it will darken the wood darker than most guitar finishes will.

More pics to come of some other sets.

Thanks

Shane

Thanks for the help Shane. I want to buy the two disks from you. Does the
kraft paper method work for more delicate woods like cedar? No dents??? If
that method works for cedar as well, would you be willing to add two 80-grit
pressure adhesive disks to my order for 30 dollars more?

Thanks!

Hey Peter, the method works fine for cedar as well. If you are concerned then just double up the paper between the wood and the sandpaper. Some actually like just woking on the sandpaper as it can stop the top from shifting, I just worry about spilling glue on my sandpaper so that is the only reason I put the barrier in.

On the paper, I don't really make much on it so I can't go to $30 (you're already killin' me ) but I can meet you in the middle at $35 for the two sheets with the two disks.

Thanks

Shane

Shane,

I am in for the two radius dishes, and two adhesive 80-grit disks.  For a total of (65+65+35+15) = $180.

Please let me know how I can pay you.  I don't need the disks extremely soon, so I am willing to send you a check, or use another method if you prefer.

Thanks again!  I look forward to using these fine tools.

Sounds Good

Rod Glenn and Mike just picked up all of the $60 EIR sets. One each for Rod and Glenn and Mike you get the other 7, I know that you already enogh tops for all of them (and then some. !)

James, that Silver Oak is yours. Do you see the darker spot at the waist area of the left hand piece? I like the looks of the wood also and will probably bring more ina few months.

Thanks

Shane

Hi Shane,


If the Shallers are the standard "M6A" acoustic/electric set (that's what they look like to me in the pic), I'll take them. 


Thanks,


Laurie

Or You said you had 3 sets available.So if you have one without a spot,that looks as nice as that set, you can send one of those instead.Either way will be fine though.

Shane,


I'll take a Laurel set too...the one in the pic is nice, but any clean set is fine (no small knots or spots, nice grain, etc).  How much $ to have it thickness sanded?
