This set of Cocobolo is going to build a stunningly beautiful guitar. It will build an OM size guitar or smaller. This set needs a little TLC but the effort will certainly be rewarded. There are a couple of long tight cracks that run just outside the pattern. They can be closed up perfect with epoxy and you will never see them. And at the bottom of the back by the tail block there are some inclusions that need repaired. I would fix these with epoxy and black dust. They are firm and stable and will repair very easily.

Retail value on this set is $225, but a bid of $175 takes it and gets free domestic shipping.

This auction ends tomorrow (Monday 4.26) at 3PM EST.

Good Luck
