This is a KILLER set of DARK Amazon Rosewood. These sets are next to impossible to find, and this one is nicely quartersawn, is uniformly dark, and has beautiful sap wood. Amazon Rosewood is my favorite replacement for good Brazilian, and the dark sets are the best and hardest to come by.

This set is big enough for a OM. There are 2 inclusions in the sides. One will fall outside the pattern, and the other is a small worm hole that will need to be filled. The sides are 4 3/4" wide.

We only have one of these sets.

Retail value is $300. $260 will end the auction early and get free domestic shipping.

The auction ends tomorrow at noon.
