Default RC Tonewoods
Any of you guys ever buy from RC Tonewoods? Can you recommend them or not? Thanks, Danny Gray (Don't know what went wrong on that first post)

They are only a few miles from me - I've spoken to them a few times. They seem to be the real deal as a luthier supplier.

I purchased 2 things from them, a neck blank that was full of worm holes.
The other was supposed to be an AAA Adi spruce top, it was full of pitch pockets and long grain run out. I'm not going to use either one.

I've bought numerous items from them and never had a problem with any of the wood. It's all added to great guitars.

I bought a nice set of EIR from them during a special a couple of years ago. The price wasn't bad and (though I admit I'm a newb) the quality seems pretty good. I liked that they show the actual set you're buying and it was clearly marked so that there was no doubt that that was what I received. My only gripe is pretty minor: when book matching the two halves for the back they inverted one side. Even though I'm a newb I was able to spot it before joining them.

Top notch tonewood dealers. They will go out of their way to make it right. I have never had an issue with anything I have bought from them.
