I can't stop myself, I have to gloat a bit, sorry! :mrgreen:

[gloat]

I just got a parcel from the Zootman bliss (RC Tonewoods) with this in it:

B/S African Pearwood:

B/S Curly Anigre:

B/S Cuban Mahogany:

The pearwood and anigre both have beautiful figure, and the color of the cuban mahogany has to be seen to be believed! [:Y:]

These sets are going to make some very nice guitars in the near future.....

Thanks Bob!! :D [:Y:]

[/gloat]

Cheers,
Dave F.
