I havn't posted much about "Zoot" lately but this QS Curly Anigre is pretty exciting tonewood. Taptone compares to the best mahogany according to one well know luthier that has written a few articles on Tonewoods.

I think some of us here should consider a direct deposit from our employer straight to Bob.

Is it as dark as that narra you had, Bob? What do you know about it's bending characteristics? Looks great on my screen.

Ken it is lighter in color than the Narra. The pictures were wet with naptha. The un-wet wood looks very close in color to maple but turns a nice golden brown under finish. I havn't bent any myself but have read that it bends without a problem. I'm going to bend a side tommorow.

Just send Bob your finished guitar and he'll send you another set of wood. That way you can just keep on buildin'.

Hey Bob: No fair! You were supposed to be rounding up all of the Anigre for me. Worse yet, there's no prices or sets on your website. What time does the KANDY STORE open and do you let middle aged kids in?
