and now, Ladies & Gentlemen, look at the additionnal wood truss rod's cover !!
 

Go ahead and order this thing, man!  Let's get the FTC thread rolling!

FTC??

Factory To Customer,
 so you (and we) can watch it being built.

Mica, is my project realizable ? Have you african blackwood's sample ?

Very cool.

I have African Blackwood available to me. We would purchase this specifically for your job once the order is confirmed. There's not much to see with this wood - especially in a raw form, pretty much black!

its possible to have some pictures of what you get?

What about using the blackwood for the core wood? And using some other real nice wood as top and back?

why and what for realy nice wood ? What mean ? do you mean the african blackwood is not your favorite ? What wood could you put with african blackwood core ?

What about Wenge for a dark top?

wenge ?? buuuhhh ... a friend has this wood on the floor of his house .. no ....

Mica, have you some pictures of your available blackwood ?

this example, upper side, is nice (for me).
