I have a very nice bubinga billet I picked up from exotic woods in Toronto a few years ago that I am just about to slice up.
Exotic woods told me this is from the same log Serge De Jonge built this guitar with-

These sets will be far too nice for me to build with, so I am going to sell them. Trouble is I cant find anything like this on the net and I have no clue what to ask for them... any ideas?
Will be posted in classifieds soon!

Any discoloration is due to the naptha drying, color is even.

Ed: Fifty a set would be a good price..................................for the buyer!!!! I'll take all you have. laughing6-hehe
A few years back I purchased some from Shane at 250 a set. I would think you would have buyers at that price.

Bubinga is fairly cheap and relatively common, and pommele Bubinga is also a fairly common figure. I'd say $125 a set.

I said it was comparable to the picture not that I wanted to get 400 a set. I have 20+ various sets I am going to sell all below retail bud.

Well, the question is what can you get for it? If they were truly comparable, you could get $400 for it. However, place them side by side at $400, and it quickly becomes obvious.

I'm just trying to give you an honest straightforward answer.

If you could get $400, I think you should. I would.

Beautifull sets , I would love to have a set . I simply cant afford that kinda price . I hope you get what you are looking for . Any opinion I would have is an uneducated guess , but I would think $250.00 is reasonable .
