I'm beginning my first build soon. I'm trying to find rosewood B&S in europe.
I found some cedar and spruce from my local lumberyards for the top. I also found maple for back and sides but I would prefer using rosewood.

Does eny1 know rosewood supplier in Europe?
Or should I just use maple for B&S?
I'm also looking for supplier who has slotted ebony fingerboards available.

All of the above, really.

Madinter and Maderas Barber have some of the best pricing on EIR, but it's not going to be ready to build with in most cases; count on at least half a year of stickered drying before use, but for building up a stash they're perfectly fine. Riwoods (Rivolta, in Italy) has drier stock and a massive pile of spruce.

I hear a lot of good things about espen.de, they have a broad selection of rosewoods for good prices. Might be worth a look.
