we discussed a little while back about building a guitar "stash" and ive felt pretty reluctant to buy anything too pricey or anything that i didnt feel comfortable building with right away. ive been pretty bummed about some very nice sets that ive watched come and go because i hesitated or just didnt feel right spending the money. well i finally bought something that i know im not going to build with for at least a few guitars. its an above average set of ziricote that i payed what i thought was a reasonable price. check it out.

Beautiful set. That should bring a smile to your face as often as you look at it. And how do you put a price on that?
I'd say money well spent!

Wonderful set, definitely a good carrot to keep you building :) I saw it on RC earlier today and thought about buying it. Or the smaller one. But then I decided I have enough wood and it was fairly expensive so I didn't.

I also want this macassar from Allied though:

To go with this awesome sinker top I got from Cool Tools:

And inlay this bookmatched pair of camatillo rosewood headplates on the back. It looks like a dragon face, so I'd cut it out like such, or possibly shave to make it narrower like the second version:

That macassar sapwood is just such a great place for the big dragon inlay...

I think I need an addiction counselor.

Exactly what popped into my head too! I was eyeballing that set at one point, but didn't have the funds. Nice pickup!

Thanks a lot for this thread and showing me the ebony [headinwall] I've been convincing myself for the past 3 weeks I don't need any of that and now I just bought one.

yeah, that mac ebony has been haunting me as well. i almost pulled the trigger quite a few times.

im thinking about buying that piece that dennis wants just to save it from having a dragon inlayed into it! eek just playin', bro. ;)

alexandru, that is an awesome piece of wood. i dont think you are going to regret that.

:lol: You think my dragon is tacky? It was the tree's idea, not mine Eat Drink
You might save me $200 though. I could just as easily inlay that thing into a 3 piece back of maple and EIR for similar effect.

But... Alexandru has one now...
