That is a nice set. Better than the ones I have been seeing.

Tony, I don't think someone of your tender years should putting themselves under that kinda stress... you know wife, kids and all. I'll PM you with my address for shipping. Now, don't thank me, I'll get all the pleasure I need from that piece of er... I mean from knowing you'll live a long healthy life:) Yeah, that's the ticket!

Re: Will this work for an acoustic guitar
John,
When I bid, I never thought I would win. The seller sent me a message congratulating me and told me what he thought he would get for this set, and what he hoped he would get. It was significantly more than what I paid. I got lucky. Back in December, I took a shot on another set of BRW, again, my bid was a bit of a joke, and I had put the bid in several days before the auction ended. I promptly forgot I had placed the bid, never got one of those emails saying I had been outbid or anything. I then got an email telling me I won. I was shocked. Here is the set I got in that auction:
I am a sucker for sapwood which is why I bid on this set. Winning was just a huge surprise and an excellent Christmas present to myself. Plus, the seller was offering free shipping at the time, so...double bonus! It looks like I am amassing a rather nice collection of tone woods! Now I just need to convince Tim (Ben-Had) that I can indeed handle the stress of kids, wife, etc and see if he will let me keep these two sets!
I am not trying to gloat or brag here, I am just really excited about these two sets of wood and wanted to share my good fortune. Plus, I have been having a rather lousy few days, so I wanted some kind words and "attaboys" from my lutherie buddies! (That would be you guys)
Thanks,
Tony

You are lucky I have seen sellers just pull the item if the bids are not high enough.

Re: Will this work for an acoustic guitar
Nothing like a couple of really nice sets of BRW to smooth out a few bad days, huh Tony!
Both are sweet!
You didn't mention my 60th BD guitar!!!
