Does anyone have a good source for curly/flame maple that does not cost a fortune, or where I don't have to buy a piece that is almost 2" thick? I am looking for a bookmatched set where each piece is only about 5/16" thick, or a single piece about 3/4" thick that I can split myself. I've looked at the Gilmer site, and most of what they have is way too thick for what I need. The guitar I want to build does not have that deep of a carve on the top, and I don't want to use any more maple than I have to. The back and neck will be Black Limba, and I want as much of the tone to come from that as possible.
