The wood pile
(If you can't find what you are looking for here, please contact me.
I can always find other types of woods in case you have something else
in mind.) |
|||||
|
I keep my grading system simple - "S" is standard grade
wood (included in base price) "UG" is the first level of upgrade,
and "UG+" is everything above that. S = Standard grade, no extra charge UG = Upgrade, (extra charge $125 - $200) call for info. UG+ = Upgrade plus, (extra charge $200 - $450) call for info. |

Please
note!
The samples below are NOT cut to shape. Some pieces are
photographed with a "paper cutout" just to give an idea how it will
look on any guitar. All samples below can be used for any guitar
that needs a carved top such as Standards, T-series, Brigands,
Valiants, 12-strings or custom basses. Latest update 11/17/2023 |
