Are the LS redwood tops pretty much gone? Where would one pick one
up? I like their even color and grain. Don, do you have tops like the LS
tops?

Hank was about the only one who had the LS tops. I'm pretty sure they're all gone now. Not to despair, there are folks who will sell them to you for around $175 each. Or more. If you can get them to part with them.
I have some that are comparable in my private stash, not for sale. Unless someone made it really worth my while...

I learned long ago there's a sellin' price and a keepin' price but there is a price never the less.

Don, I have a private stash of my own - a certain dewy drink. What's it
going to take to broker this deal?    James Orr38973.8808101852

What defines an LS top? I have just acquired 50+ sets of 1000 year old growth premium redwood tone sets. haven't had time to photo them, but they are available.. I'm working on a web site.. but it will not be up for a month or so. Give me some specifics and I can get back to you.

Here is a very nice pic of a Dennis Scannell "True North Guitars" (I love that name) LS redwood top.



Just google either name and you will find his site. He has a great site with tons of pictures of his build process.
