Back in 2013 (or earlier) i was able to score a "lucky strike" redwood top for my first build. That guitar was exceptional...
9 years later i have an old brazilian rosewood back and side set that i would love to build a classical guitar for my own use. Thinking it would match nicely with the LS top... Wondering what the chance is of anyone having some that they would part with?? Shot in the dark i know.

Also, i notice Hank Mauel hasn't been on the site since 2019 and is listed as a retired luthier. Anyone happen to know of an email address for him?
Thanks!!

Not sure if Harvey Leach still has any, but he took over Hank's inventory and sold me a pair seven or eight years ago.

I have a few (got mine from Hank too). I might let one go. We've just moved and most of our stuff is in storage. But I have two big boxes of tone wood in my shop, with any luck they'll be in one of the boxes. Let me check.

Robert, my LS tops are not in my shop so that means they're in our storage locker. We're going to stop by this weekend and load up some more stuff so I'll look for them there.
