I am looking for a set of Primo Madagascar Rosewood for a customers guitar and am having a little trouble finding any. Has anybody out there got some they would like to sell, or do you have a lead on a nice set?

Hey John,

Did you get a hold of Todd at Allied? I thought he had some as well.

I have a set from that Madinter batch and it is spectacular, but really don't expect to be able to use it too soon!

John, I bought a really nice set from Vikwood http://www.vikwood.com/ about a year ago. They said at the time that they had the largest supply of Mad Rose sets in the U.S.

I had to describe what I wanted and have them send pictures of choices to make it work. Good luck!

John,

What size do you need, especially on the sides? I may have some that could work for you.

Thanks for the offer Burton
I will need this to be about 4.25 inches wide at the butt and abut 3.6 near the neel. It is an OM so not as thick as a dread.
