Too rich for my blood, especially on the ones I give away, but it sure is purty!

Honestly, mine too but this is a customer request. Brazilian has a beautiful ring to it.

I won a couple of eBay auctions for BRW. Paid about $300 each for two sets. Nice stuff too, not wild grained. You just need to have cash to shop for wood on Christmas week.

Owner wanted to have for a show before I put the finish on and in the meantime his wife had a miscarriage and he has yet to get it back to me. It sounded great. I never finished taking pics of it because I thought it was coming right back.

So I have two that the finish is drying on and I got to work on this today.

PS - This is the Safe-T-Planer you pick up for me Kyle. Thanks a lot it works great. The back on this set was .210".

Looks like a great guitar in the works. I would love to do a brw/adi combo one day. Glad to see your putting the safety planer to work. Looking forward to watching your progress on this.
