Excellent quality, attractive grain, feel and tap. I can’t wait to work this up.
Michael Collins (verified owner) –
I think this is a value. good quality, grain and very likely will make a decent archtop. Also Alaska woods have been more than reasonable with me.
Zach Hoyt (verified owner) –
Great wood, I have used this for a few archtop guitars and am ready to order more. Everything I have ordered from this company has been very nice.
