I was just looking at them on Friday and thought 'I'll just wait till next week" :(

These ones:

Does anyone know the back story on these and if perhaps there are still some more from another supplier? $30 bucks was a killer deal on these. For the cost of an Ebony board, the inlay, and the time it takes to cut slots and inlay that was a steal. I'm just about to build 3 Style 45 OM's now.

A glutton for punishment are we? beehive laughing6-hehe

That did sound like a good deal on the fingerboards. A little bit narrow but I guess you would be binding them anyway for style 45.

Yeah the binding would have filled it out. Would have been a nice time saver.
