I am looking for a two piece African Blackwood set with a sapwood center. My lower bout is only 15" -- so I don't need a very large set. It needs to be a high quality set and price is not a consideration.

I haven't had any luck finding a set with sapwood and I have checked with all the big guys (LMI, Allied, etc...). Can anybody point me in a good direction?

Thanks,
Simon Fay

Simon,

Did you try to call Hibdon? I think they have much more than what is listed on their website.

Did you try Bob C?

I second the vote for BobC - I recall a post back in December when he said he received 50 sets in the mail, but only 3 sets listed on the site right now...I think he can help you out......
