This is South American Mahogany, what most call Honduras. $59 each with FREE Shipping to PG'ers in the continental US.Send me a note and I'll send a paypal invoice. ALSO, I'll knock 10% off anything on the website too! Just type"PG" in the promotion code box (without the quotes) and 10% will come off your order through Sept 15th. You'll find a full line of items & Parts including Korina/Limba wood, neck blanks, pickups... Doeringer Guitars Sorry I have not been posting much lately. Terry D.

Maiden69 Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Hey, just bookmarked the page, I was not aware that you had a store set up online! Got no money now, but I'm looking at maybe this winter to do a build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doeringer Posted September 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Thanks Maiden, let me know what you want by email before you order and I'll see what I can do. (this goes for everyone that wants to order after the PG sale ends) TD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum1284 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 even with the discount your price seem a little high compared to warmoth or lmii. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick500 Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 (edited) even with the discount your price seem a little high compared to warmoth or lmii. Adam Not sure where you're getting that... I just looked up mahogany body blanks at both Warmoth and LMI, and Terry's mahogany blanks are $17.45/bd ft shipped, Warmoth's are $30.93/bd ft shipped, and LMI's cheapest one (and they had much more expensive ones) is $33.25/bd ft shipped.

fryovanni Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 At the dimensions listed and price(before the generous discount), that is about $15 bd. ft. Which is EXTREAMLY fair for well dried machined body blanks. Even if you bought the wood at a good prices for lumber, there would be very little left to pay for the added service. Good quality geniune Mahogany is getting harder to source also, and the price is rising quickly(it is on CITES now). Take advantage of the offer. I doubt I would be able to justify machining, taking pictures, billing(deducting the cost of PayPal if used), packing and shipping not to mention the cost of aquiring(gas, shipping, time to select) the wood and storing it till it is stable, possible losses due to raw dimensions not being 100% efficient for what will amount to maybe $15 give or take a few bucks. Those overhead costs are key in driving up the cost with reliable dealers like LMI or Warmoth(they are not really making a killing, just companies trying to make a reasonable profit after paying operating costs).

Doeringer Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Thanks guys! Yes this was a deal that I was passing along. When I started getting back into building guitars several years ago, I received help on this site that went FAR beyond good value, both in price and advice. I try to give it back when I can (Pay it Forward, y'know... I think I'm tearing up... ). Rich, you nailed it Bud, that is good business insight and it is exactly why I was able to do this on this wood as there was very little waste. As far as other items, I'm sure they do have some things cheaper, but I think I am fair. Thanks Again. Terry D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possum1284 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 the mahogany is a great deal i agree i was referring to the hardware on the site being overpriced. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baconandeggs Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Sent you an email thru Yahoo, I want one. My son and I are going to attempt a Firebird Studio for a Scouting Merit Badge. I just bought one, I couldn't get one cheaper anywhere including the local wood dude... I want to get a mahogany neck blank so I'll be checking the website soon, thanks again, BrentZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdw3332 Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I just tried to order one and it showed the price at $68.88 plus $26.95 shipping and it said that the PG promo code didn't exist. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjhalsey Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 I ordered 3 and liked them so much I ordered 4 more! Thanks Terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doeringer Posted October 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Thanks for the kind words guys, glad to help out when I can, and glad to clear up some room too! I still have some left but don't order the Mahogany directly from our site unless you just like spending more. My email is on the original post, send me a note and I'll send a paypal invoice. Then I expect to see some of these on GOTM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
