I have been giving a lot of thought to the auction debacle that has gone down. And in addition to getting everything out -- I have been packing like a mad man this weekend. I would also like to demonstrate that I have am 100% committed to turn this situation around and make this an awesome experience for everyone.

Again, talk's cheap, so I would like to demonstate it. So I have a very nice auction I would like to run. This is a good opportunity to get some primo wood at a great price and hopefully the folks who participate will acknowledge the turn around in service and getting stuff shipped immediately.

I really will turn this around from being one of the slowest shippers to one of the fastest, and I would like to prove it.

So here is the deal.

I have 10 Steel String size Madagascar Ebony Fingerboards - These are the best of the best. Dead black with no streaking, tight grain, no pores, sands into powder and takes a great shine when you sand to high grits and buff. These boards are nearly impossible to find and when you do they are usually between $40 and $50. I will sell them for $25.

I also have 8 Bass size Madagascar Ebony Fingerboards - These are of similar quality, dead black, tight grain, no pores and works very well. What is nice about these boards is that they are (roughly) 32" x 3.5" x .45" so they are long enough to get bindings, bridges, headplates or other parts you might be looking for if you don't need fingerboards that big. These boards are $35 each.

These items will ship the SAME DAY (or the next day if it is after busienss hours) after I receive the pay pal payment. Given the size and weight of these it is likely that these will go USPS priority, so most people in the US should have them within 2-3 days. I will immediately acknowledge your order and give you a tracking number as soon as I have it. No exceptions, no excuses.

I hope you will give this a shot. It is an awesome deal and I would like to earn back your trust.

This will run until these are gone.

Hey Brock,

I see that the SS boards are more than accounted for, but if you had any laying around somewhere I would be interested in two. Thought it was worth asking.

LMK if you want them. Thanks!

Yeah after I re-read it I thought that seemed confusing, but everyone seemed to get what I meant.

Hey Brock, we will take the 2 remaining SS then.

P.S.
If you find that larger POC it would be great if they could ship at the same time.

Thanks

Thanks, Brock. I'm good. I usually get in soon enough. I'd have had to get bass boards anyway, as 2 1/2 is too narrow for a classical board.
