Auction: Curly Koa / Englemann / Madagascar Rosewood / Brazilian Rosewood (Almost) Kit

We compiled several things together for this auction to almost make this into a kit. Up for grabs are



· A Curly Koa Set (the back is curlier than it appears in the pictures)

· AAA Englemann top

· A stick of Adirondack Spruce Brace Stock

· 4 Brazilian Rosewood bindings

· A Brazilian Rosewood Headplate

· A Brazilian Rosewood Bridge Blank

· A Madagascar Rosewood Fretboard



The top is large enough for a dread size instrument, the back is more suited to an OM.

Thanks and good luck.

Ok, so maybe it is big enough for a dread

The back is 24" x 16 1/2" It looks like you will lose about 1/4" in joining the plates.

Huh? I don't understand. I am not upset. I just posted it big and blue to make sure everyone would see it. I was wrong when I said it was probably only big enough for an OM. I just wanted to make sure everyone saw the update to the info.

Sorry if it seemed if I was upset.... I wasn't, not in the least. :D

Brock: Thanks ,then I have to apologize. Sorry that I even thought you might be upset. Guess I,m a bit too fast on the draw lately. Also thanks for putting up the sizes. Having the actual figures takes the guess work out of things and in the end can save someone from a surprise they may not be happy in receiving. Also apologize to anyone else I may have offended. Tom.
