    wow looks awesome KB, what are planning to build with these ?

    Edit hard to see how many quilted maple veneers are there ?

    If you can spare any or want to sell any I'd be keen as mustard

    Bet the package cost an arm and a leg from USA

    Believe it or not Wokka there's only enough for one guitar it's going to be mahogany body quilted maple top. No cnc's will be allowed anywhere near it lol. It's going to be a luthier made guitar for Angelina. By the infamous DB also known as The Phil. Wokka the postage wasn't that bad from the guy I use. The wood was $300 US $100 dollars postage.Thanks for kind comments Woks. I look forward to seeing how it turns out.

    Lol I couldn't go cheap it's s gift for my good lady lol. I can't say Woks as Angelina reads forums and DBs signed the official secrets act lol.its going to be a natural colour that's all I can say currently Woks.I couldn't get really good quality quilted maple from Australia and the one I saw here cost me more than the USA by another $125.00. The cost of quilted maple changes daily it should be traded on the stock market lol.

    Kimball had to increase his home security when I saw the email he sent me with these pics
    But it is safe now because Miss Fiona has been made aware of its existence and rightful owner...... Bugga.

    Anyhoo, this is a build that has got me all excited for the first time in ages

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
