Thank you all kindly for your help with the chocolate cedar tops and yew suppliers.... at the moment, I am trying to source for a set of 'the tree' mahogany. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Warmest regards, Terence www.guitarbench.com |

Terence, Unless your client insists on "The Tree" material, you can probably find some sapele that's visually pretty close. Tonally, sapele is very similar to mahogany, so it's a good substitute. I think Don Williams and maybe a couple of other OLF sponsors had a few sets. Maybe they'll chime in. |

Terence- Call Todd at http://www.alliedlutherie.com - I bought my last set from him a month ago. It may have been his very last - sorry. He may not have any more but he may be able to source a set from his many contacts. Seriously, Todd may be the only person who can help - so please don't wait. I have about 5-6 sets and they were mucho $$$$ - so if you find a set, you may want to tell your client that the upcharge is going to be like truly premium Brazilian (an extra $2-3,000+ or more). Good luck to you buddy- |

The sound of saple is not even close to the tree, and I would only sell a set for $2,500, sorry. Lance |
