I haven't learned how to post pics here yet. The back wood looks quarter-sawn. The sides are a really pretty deep brown with black spider web lines running through them. $5 a set sounds pretty reasonable! That's a beautiful 00-30! It's got me leaning toward binding the fingerboard. I'm still trying to decide between pyramid and belly bridge and ebony or rosewood for bridge and fingerboard. Thanks!
