Thought folks here might want to take a look at a classical guitar made with Black Limba, Italian Spruce by one of my customers.

Now I had pencilled in a Black Limba/Lutz OOO with the set I got from Bob, but now I'm thinking.......   The stuff taps like good mahogany but even Torres made mahogany classicals.

Interesting that he's reversed the book match from nornmal.
