I can't believe this...I was looking for a drop top to put on the yet to be electric creation I'm working on...I contacted Bob Cef at RC Tonewoods! He was unbelievably helpful, worked hard to get me a great price and what looks to be some beautiful Quilted Sapele for my top wood! He put up with my numerous e-mails and requests for prices like a perfect gentleman! Imagine that? He actually helped me make a decision on the wood with suggestions and ended a long long dilemma in my head on what kind of wood to use for a drop top! There's something wrong here!
Seriously folks...Bob is/was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Great wood, great price and great service! How can you beat that? Thankyou Bob for all the help and great service! I have seen wood like this on "other" big commercial web sites for a lot more than Bob gave me mine for. There is no way I would have gotten the attention I got from Bob. Thanks to OLF for being here and opening up my world to people like Bob!

I just bought a beautiful set of walnut from him on e-bay, and spoke with him thru e-mail about his business and his Laguna Bandsaw. You're right Mark. The man is more than willing to help out.BlueSpirit38588.162974537

Darn it, Bob, stop it! You're making us crabby unco-operative people look bad.

So Peter
Just what is it that makes you crabby and un-cooperative? Maybe you need some new "ZOOT" to cheer you up.

I agree that Bob is a class act, and an absolute joy to work with. That said, I think our entire list of sponsors have shown service above and beyond. Including participating in out discussions as many are guitar builders as well.

PS, Bob, I got the purfs and bindings (wait tell you'all see the purf's that Bob made me! Yowise!

Lance,
I'm sure your statement above is true. This is my first dealing with anyone from OLF and I just wanted to let all know my feelings. EVERYBODY that I read about and read their threads are a bunch of real nice people. I have learned alot about acoustic building already, it's amazing! Truly a talented and nice bunch!
Mark
