It has been pointed out to me that at least one person has interpreted my "Flatsawn Pernambuco" post in this thread as a possible dig at another nearby build thread. While I had seen a picture of that guitar's back, forwarded to me by another person, I did not mean to direct my observations in that direction. Indeed, I did not know whose build it was at that time. My post actually grew out of a conversation I had with another luthier working with a set of flat sawn P, my friend Ben Wilborn. My conversation with Ben included all of the information in my above post, and much more.
