Filippo - That bridge is awesome.

In my opinion, Cocobolo is the the up and coming rosewood. It's got the flash that almost no other woods have, isn't growing all over the place, and has the tone to boot.

I'm a collector. When I return from my day job today I'm going to post some good photos of some flashy stuff.

Couldn't resist digging up a couple pics of my coco flamenca. I call her "la Morena". Great looking and sounding guitar. Just wish I wasn't allergic [xx(]

Haans, that guitar looks great! I also have some Rockler Coco, I snagged a bunch of baords like these for some fancy 4 pc backs when I feel worthy of them:

Yes, Jimmy, it really came from Rockler. I ran into two 7-1/2" boards that were pretty quartered and some 5" for the ribs.

Shoot me but I don't like the look of the flatsawn guitar at all.

Zach's first set - now that is some awesome guitar zoot.
