My signature line is a tribute to Colin helping me to understand that one of the very finest tonewoods available, Mahogany, was a direction that I needed to go. Thank You Colin![/QUOTE]

Everyone succumbs in the end! I believe that the image of mahogany suffered because it was cheap compared to the 'premium' woods like BRW (and some terrible cheap guitars were built with it). If plain old Honduran mahogany was 3 times the price of BRW, they'd all be lined up at the door to buy it. And, I'd be sitting on quite a valuable little cache! Good job there's an ocean separating us Hesh or I'd have to put a lock on the door.

I've just changed my pricing on Mahogany to bring it in line with the other top quality woods. It is now selling for $400 a set for Honduran ribbon figure. It goes up from there.

Does that make you feel better Colin?

Don no disrespect intended to Sicilians or you my friend. OK let's think of another name that is more politically correct. Got any thing that you would like to be called besides often?

Bob the sooner we get Don a nickname the sooner you are no longer the sole target of sick sense of humor Photoshop antics........ [/QUOTE]

Whoa I'm only kidding. I think "The Don" is a perfect name. Let's go with it? Whada you say don Don?

Don, I'd put at least $500 on that one, you don't want to sell yourself short! Nice wood, every bit as good, nay better than your Braz!

I've got a lot of this one, with a bit of aged Euro or redwood on top surely the finest guitar you can get?

Hey Colin, How about this Mahogany?

Something I'll be offering in the near future...

Don I hope you've got enough of those to go round.

Wow....Hesh, you just bought a $2,000 set of Mahogany! Colin would be proud of you!


Hey...it's not for sale yet! Go easy on me!

As soon as those sets come available, Hesh and Paul get the first picks...
There will be between 6 and 8 of these sets...I hope.

I can sure understand Colin better now that i have had the chance to work with Mahogany wood for my guitar neck, this wood is really fun to work with. Now i better stash me some more before the prices hit the ceiling fan!
