JackLondon Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Andy at Prime Timbers has the best wood, I know because the redwood top for my bass comes from him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I'd just keep it as a block and send it off to be finished. When it returned, I'd be able to sell my TV and just stare at that all night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Heeley Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Rather tasty is that. Puts a lot of pressure on the buyer to source an equally zingy piece for the rest of the guitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simo Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Yep, Andy has some amazing quality Maple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalmoore Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Gotta say that is amazing looking. Never really cared for tops really but now... Will be watching this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golchen Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 I'm not keen on that finish for instruments myself, although it looks pretty amazing as a block! Never seen that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey R Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) That is a very nice piece. Checked it out this morning, have you seen the price its going for now? Good on Andy! Edited August 23, 2009 by Mikey R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorne Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Stunning piece of wood,don't like tops myself,prefer solid wings I have a solid winged Quilted maple Mockingbird bass,but the wood isn't as nice as this piece on evilbay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouMa Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 When i get more settled i would love to build a high quality jazz out of stuff like this,the only part that scares me is the neck building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
