This is a KILLER set of MUN EBONY. The figure is outstanding (check out those sides)! It is large enough for a dreadnaught.

Retail value is $275 but a buy it now bid of $240 takes it and gets free domestic shipping.

The auction ends tomorrow at 4PM

I'm not sure what you all do but I don't have a snow ball chance in he++ of being part of these auctions since I am unable to park it in front of my computer 24/7. Nice score Chuck! That is a good looking set!

Yeah, I think Brock may need to start raising the buy it now prices :)
Either that or just sell all these back to RC Tonewoods :p

But I do love seeing great sets pop up in auctions here. Hopefully I'll have enough of an excuse to snap one up one of these days.

You're right Brock, I just can't help myself because these woods are so beautiful. I got it bad.

Sorry Mark, I'm just sitting here on the couch enjoying the weekend and watching Dan Erlewine DVD's with the laptop sitting in front of me. Then, lo and behold Brock tempts me with set of Mun Eb. I should get married or something.

I wouldn't advise the marriage thing if you want to continue to make these kinds of impulse purchases, as that option will go away!

I was just about ready to bid on last weeks set. I may be old ...but I'm slow. Saves me thousands $$$ every year.

Frank has the idea! Marriage will not solve the problem. I have enough wood for about 30 guitars, and have completed 3. Most of it is stored at my office. Let's see, buy 10 sets for every completed guitar........... I'd better get busy looking at wood, as #4 gets closer to completion.

Wow Waddy, I'm pretty close to 30 sets, I really don't know how many I have. More EI Rosewood than anything. I look at it as an investment anyway. Might be worth double what I paid in a hundred years or so if I don't build with it first. Then it will be worth less than half what I paid if I use it...lol
