Hello all, I haven't seen one of these in a while, so here we go:
P.S. I think this is some of that crazy Mahogany LMI has for 600$/set. Enjoy!

Based on the arm rest I say Tony Karol. But I'm not aware that he scored any of that Sapele. But that just means that I didn't see any "progress" pics. |

A lot of people call Sapele a Mahogany. All North American, Cuban or Honduran quilted Mahoganys I have ever seen has been more of a carmel color and the quilting is more like the quilting in Maple. I am pretty sure this is Sapele |

Hesh, the bindings are bloodwood... Complements the rest of that 'gitter' quite nicely... |

Jason has even taken the extra step of inlaying some of that bloodwood in the back braces of the guitar... You can see it very faintly in the link, but I remember one of his previous guitars (dream series number 1) for sale on dreamguitars.com that had a very good pictures of the laminated braces. Looked mighty wiked! http://www.dreamguitars.com/instock_simpson.htm#dream |

Actually I do have some of that Sapele - in fact LMI bought some from the same place I got mine, shame they are now asking 600 a set - guess I know now how to price the finished products !!!! I have 3 on the go, and some other sets in the stash -plus a couple, actually 3 electric tops from the same log. PIc when I get them in to finish. Cool armrest BTW - I saw that one a while back and thought way cool idea. |

That armrest does look great! But is it just me or is that getting a close to being to big? Sure would be hard to beat that guitar for looks. Josh |

Yep, that's Quilt Sapele all right. Got mine from Bob, and paid less than 600 for 4 sets of stuff that's at least that nice. And a huuuuge arm rest. Still, an attractive instrument. |
