I am glad that you finally made up a list. Could you also add the name of who is contributing because there has been some double up on the offers (for instance I offered a bune nut and saddle but Brad has offer an ivory set...no need to think too hard on which to choose!) but Brad has also offered an Abalam rosette while one of our Aussie friends has offer an abalone one.

So please add the names of the donators just so we know who is supplying what.....



Thanks

I'd like to add a K & K Sound Systems Pure Western Transducer System to the kit.

From his posts, Kevin seems like a heck of a guy. Now if we could get him to show me how to put the thing together I'd be bidding like crazy.

Sorry,
I didn't see the abalone rosette already posted-so I'm still in for the ivory and snakewood headstock veneer.
Since Craig is doing an inlay-I could change the head veneer to jet black ebony, if need be.

I can only top Andy's offer in price as I cannot guarantee the outcome of a guitar that I build--but I will bid $825 if that helps.

I know the Ebony will be better for inlay.... lets have the winner decide which one to get and he'll have to know that the Snakewood will limit the inlay possibilities!
Or we can do the Ebony for the front and the Snakewood as a backstrap veneer?

You OLF'ers are very generous indeed! I'm priced out and have nothing to add except good luck. Someone will be a happy camper. My position might be different if a borrowed computer had not failed during a Million Dollar Poker Tournament.    I sure could have used the $500,000.00 first prize.

Figured you'd like to see some of what you're bidding on, here's the abalone rosette. Wish I could contribute more, but the shipping would be a killer.

How about some pix of the rest fellas? That should drive the price up.
