I'm just wondering what they actually are. I'm hoping they are a really low grade maple

I got a set years ago....still have them somewhere....they are actually quite nice maple (mine had a bit of flame!) but they are severely undersize for a guitar. They might be okay for a uke though.

Cheers,
Dave Fifield

Yeah Bob,
Are you selling your orphaned sides, or do you have "practice sides" for sale? I needs me some practice before I have at it with an expensive set of Ziricote I have. Should I PM you, call your store, send a carrier pigeon(Mike Tyson's rents his pigeons I believe)?
Let me know.

Tony

thanks for the info, I broke both of the flamed maple sides on a classical guitar I'm building and need to get some more. I hope to see you at Woodstock again Mr. Cefalu.
