GuitarMaestro Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Try GalleryHardwoods I bought the greatest quilted maple top I ever saw from them. And the price was very good. They offer great service and answer really fast. Dont think that they only have the wood pictured on the side in stock. Its only a small selection from what they have.

Drak Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 GM is right. Larry Davis at Gallery Hardwoods is a really super-nice guy to deal with and his prices ARE below the competition. I just saw a HUGE hunk of quilted Maple go by on e-Bay 2-3 days ago that was big enough to build several guitars. Opening bid? $55.00. Not a single bidder. Went by like a ship in the night. Tsk, tsk, tsk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Luthier Posted December 9, 2003 Report Share Posted December 9, 2003 Notable Woods I bought a SWEEEEEEEEET piece of burled claro walnut from them on ebay. There ebay ID is "notable-woods". I don't think the stuff they sell on ebay is there regular stuff though. What I like is the discounts you can get when buying sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Good links lex. Those dudes are cheap. Now if they only had pictures....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Luthier Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Good links lex. Those dudes are cheap. Now if they only had pictures....... They'de probably send you some. Bruce, the owner I guess, is a nice guy. I bet if you told him you were looking for something specific, like tight flames, he'd send you some pics, not sure tough.

And they're quilted! Good quilt! less than $20. Dude! That's cheaper than alder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good quilt! less than $20. Dude! That's cheaper than alder! I emailed that guy a while back if he was willing to ship outside the US. I got a rude and very hard to read (grammar) reply back... what a dork... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Um...holy crap! one will likely be a drop top, cuz after boockmathing, it'll be 1/4". But the other is bookmatched pieces 1 1/16"...that's 2 full tops.This is it, but please dont out bid me, I saw it first, and have exceeded my bidding limit...ebay wont let me re bid, or bid on more auctions till next week!

tsl602000 Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Jeff, I don't mean to insult you, but do you really like that top? Why don't you save up some cash and buy one or two highly figured tops rater than bidding your ass off on any piece of wood you see? Just wondering....

Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 The 3/8" piece is awesome. The big piece is decent. For a taco burst...dark burst.

Guest Litchfield Custom Gutars Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Dop to with a 1" stripe of bubinga or something i thinh. Maybe headstock overlays, but that would be a waste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannoG Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 If anyone really is keen on wood from Notable and can't get a picture, let me know and I can go look at it for you. He's not far away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
