Cocobolo Back & Sides, Bookmatched and Quartersawn

[printer2]

Well at least the ad says it is.

I am a luthier who is building mainly classical guitars for about 30 years. Take into account all wood GRADING IS VERY SUBJECTIVE. Examine the pictures each set. What you see is what you get!!!!

I saw the original listing, I think the seller made a mistake on the listing. For a starting bid of $80 with a Adirondack soundboard included it's not bad nonetheless.

That is not a bad deal. Fully quartered cocobolo sets exist though not common.

Not saying whether it is a good deal or not, just that I do not see a quartered set there and as a luthier of 30 years I am sure he must not have missed the fact. Actually have seen it in a number of his ads. Others where he has the back wood mated to a top actually were not bad deals if you were looking for something along those lines.

Just curious, because I live in Canada I get a different shipping amount listed. What is the displayed shipping for the US?

Most likely the guy has a template for the listing and didn't change the text...
