Just received 2 sets, one for top and one for back of 17 inch guitar. The site listed the wood as back ordered so I called. Gentleman I spoke to was in the shop, said he had some boards, and needed to update the web site. He found me the boards, we talked about the color selection I liked, and he said give him an hour and he’d update the web site and go ahead and order. He called me back 2 hours later to be sure everything was set!. 2 hours later they were already mailed! And they are spectacular, Beautiful color, grain, and ring like a bell when tapped, great job on the joint, flawless wood. Felt like I bought it from an old friend up the street!
