We have a new auction.

Up for grabs is something very very special.

1 - premium set of macassar ebony from Brad Goodman
1 - AAA top from Ed Dicks (very very nice)
1 - batch of premium sitka brace stock
1 - highly figured snakewood bridge
4 - extra long pieces of snakewood binding
1 - ebony fingerboard
1 - ebony head plate
1 - Quartersawn Honduran Mahogany neck block bandsawed out over sized.
4 - kerfed linings

It is hard to estimate the value of these materials, but this is a first class kit. It does not include a truss rod, purflings and a few other misc items you will need, but all of the the main components are there.

That's cheap ! $355 barely covers the b&s and neck...
Someone's gonna get a real good deal...I can feel it!

Don,

Your not helping me here!!   

Yes, I would feel guilty if I get it at $355. What are snakewood bindings each, like $10-15 each!

I will go to $375. I am new to building, but this looks like a nice set.
