This is a very nice set of Cocobolo large enough for an OM. It has some really striking colors and strong black ink lines.

Retail Value is $170, but we will end the auction early for $140 and throw in domestic shipping.

The auction ends tomorrow at 4PM.

Good Luck

I am sure it will. But you're right it is close.

I usually just flip a bit down from the waist if I am a little short. Most of the time it routs off when the bindings are cut.

Poor James. One day you'll win one of these.

On the bright side, I found out where that spalted mango set the other day came from, and there's more of it. It's in Allied Lutherie's weekly specials section here http://www.alliedlutherie.com/weekly5.htm. Of course they're more expensive, but still gorgeous :)

Yep... the spalted stuff is coming from Allied.

The auctions are a mix of things Lance and I have accumulated through horse-trading deals, donated items, and exchanges for services. It seems to work out well for everyone involved. :-D

Hi Brock, I'm very interested in bidding in these auctions, I've seen some incredible sets go through in the past :).

Could you please tell me how much it would cost you to ship a guitar set to Australia?

Many thanks
Miguel
