The headplates I ordered came today. I suppose that's the benefit of living two hours away. I'll take some pics tomorrow!


Well shoot, you should have come and picked out your own!

The Higuerilla set (the one at top of thread or very like it) arrived today. Kudos to Lance - he let's you know every step of the way as the order gets processed and shipped. Wood was well packed. A very happy transaction.

The Higuerilla is interesting. It reminds me of another obscure S./A. wood that I have one set of - Kelobra. I don't know if there is any connection. The Higuerilla set has very nice distinctive black lines, and is visually very pretty wood. It is not terribly glassy-like, I'd guess a fairly high damping wood. I am going to try it on a flamenco guitar, most likely, but I'm guessing not very soon.


No Higuerilla is not related to Kelobra. It should produce a bright clear tone.
