Bob,

It's a pleasure doing business with someone who is as personally involved and interested as you are, and who supplies such high quality materials.  Personal service and friendliness are things you don't get often here in Europe! :)

Bob, 
I just wanted to let you know I received the bindings yesterday.  As always they were well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. 
Hope you have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

 

Thanks, 

Chuck R.

Bob,

 The wood arrived in the mail yesterday,. Thanks for the quick turn around. Both sets look marvelous. When I get around to using them, I'll definitely send you photos of what ever they become.
 
Cheers,

Bob!
 
The package of purflings / glueup got here yesterday.
Everything looks just great. It's exactly what I was wanting / needing.
I'm impressed with how flat the neck glueup is. How did you do that?

Thanks again my friend,

Steve K.

But I have to say the wood is stunningly beautiful.  It arrived in perfect condition today.  I appreciate your excellent service and won't hesitate to order from your site again. 

Thank you very much.

Bob,

 I got it!  Awesome wood, thank you so much!

Hello Robert
The parcel arrived today - very well packed and in good condition! Your operation seems really
professional, and I'm sure we'll do business again.
Thanks also for dealing with international buyers. So many of your countrymen won't, and I really can't understand why. The small extra paperwork to send a package overseas is surely not that big a problem!
Anyway, thanks again, and will leave good feedback.
Regards
Victor L.

Hi. 

The stuff (bindings perflings)  looks incredible.  These are finished much better than the stuff I have got from LMI or Allied recently.  Thank you again.
 
I think you have an excellent service.  Everything I have got from you has
exceeded my expectations.  I can't wait to see what you will come up with
next.
 
:-)

Got it today Bob. It is absolutely gorgeous! Thanks
for the great wood at a great price, you're the best!
Always nice doing business with you.

HI Bob,
It showed up on friday. It's going to make an outrageous looking guitar. I can hardly wait to start in with it. Thanks.

Hi Bob:
  Got the cherry set today and it is perfect!  I don't know how you managed to find quarter sawn cherry (and figured) in that size.  I haunt 2 local hardwood dealers and have never found it wide enough.  Saturday I plan to pick up some QS cherry for a neck for this guitar.  I have special plans for this baby.  Love the smell of cherrywood!
 By the way the osage I got from you is drying nicely, can't wait to use that stuff either.
   Thanks Bob

Hi Bob

....Got the wood today....You're right.....Killer curl should make a beautiful piece........THANK YOU FOR REMEMBERING MY NEEDS....

Hello Bob,
 
The waterfall bubinga guitar set arrived today. -- Holy moley am I glad I got a second chance to get a set of this wood.  Thanks for the great deal!
 
Now I'm going to sticker it and stash it in my humidty controlled sanctum santorum until the day arrives that I am confident enough to build with wood that nice!  Probably that will be in about 18 months at my present rate of progress.
 
Thanks again!
 
Dennis E.
Bob,
 

The binding that you sent me is absolutely gorgeous! Thanks allot. I'm looking forward to seeing the new Domestics that your going to be selling.

Thanks again-----Snick

 

Bob-

My lacewood set arrived today...wow!  Safe and sound, and it has an absolutely beautiful figure to it.  I'm hoping John Greven is right, and that this stuff sounds as good as it looks (the tap tone is fantastic).  This set will become a 00 12-fret body, probably with sitka on top.  That's becoming my favorite body size, and this should become my new favorite guitar.

Thanks again, I'll very likely order from you again.

Brian K.


ZootMan!

 WOW!!! The Coco is gorgeous…and what a ring! So I cleaned it with naptha to see how she shines and got her all stickered and put under a spare bedroom bed. I’ll wake her up in 6-12 months.

Now, the neck stock…very nice and just the way I wanted it. After doing this for me one time are you willing to provide this service in the future? This one’s for the LP but I’d like to do the acoustics similarly. Let me know if you’re interested or if it’s a PITA in light of your other interests.

Thanks, Bob.

I’m sure glad I met you…JJ

Bob-

Thanks for shipping these sets so quickly and the refund for the shipping. I just left you positive feedback for both auctions. Both sets look great and I'm sure I'll love using both. 

John L.

Merry Christmas, Bob:

I opened the Eucalyptus after a few warmup hours…It’s just gorgeous!! You know, if you look at that curl for too long it kinda plays tricks on your eyes. It reminds me of some of the visions I had in my old college days…never mind! The Cherry looks great and thanks so much for giving me the mulligan! Have a great holiday and prosperous new year…I expect to send you even more money in 2005!

JJ

Bob

I am so exited about these sets. It's really nice to deal with people out there that deal with quality products and give excellent service with each order. I will let the others on ebay know my feelings.

Mark A.

Bob

Great packaging, all intact, and woods exactly as I had expected & hoped for. Now all I have to do is try to choose which one to use in the guitar.....may get back to you for some advice on the individual tonal qualities (if you have used any of these on your guitars).

May I take this opportunity to wish you & yours a very happy, peaceful and prosperous new year.

I got the yellow heart and the bloodwood bindings yesterday.  Both are wonderful.  Thanks again

Steve S.

 

Hi Bob,
 
Got the package yesterday and as always, GREAT STUFF!  I didn't realize how
nice the bloodwood bindings were.  I will definitely be ordering more of
those.  That walnut is real nice.

Frank C.

 
Well Sir ...here it is Tuesday Morning and I have my bindings ...They're beautiful and matchup nicely to the curly Umbuia. It's a pleasure dealing with you and (God willing) I will be buying  more wood in the future, that is, if I get this 1st guitar built. Wish me luck!
 Thanks again Bob.

Thanks Bob!

Great service and fast response. I will continue to buy from you. I love your inventory!

Bob,
I appreciate you making great figured woods available at reasonable prices.
I will be checking with you first when the need arises.

Hi Bob....Just a brief note to say thanks for thinking of me with your last order of WOW mahogany.. This is the kind of stuff I am making all my guitars out of from now on....The figure or EXTREME figure is so striking that IF I am spending 200 hours or more of my time...I might as well make it be worth the WOW factor. .Not that a wonderful hand made instrument isn't a WOW of it's own.. BUT.....You know what I think I mean?
 
Again thank you for your kindness and look forward to more as you get them....AL
 

          I have received the quilted sapele you had sent to me.. FABULOUS !  ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS…Thank you for your suggestion.  THIS IS EXACTLY the stuff my guitars will be made of. You had mentioned you were getting another shipment in a few more days?  If this is so, PLEASE keep me in mind, I will pick up 3 more sets….anytime you slice into something that has such beautiful figure, I am there

WONDERFUL THE MORE I LOOK AT IT…The BETTER IT GETS  !!!

 THANK YOU …THANK YOU ….THANK YOU !!  Your NJ friend   AL

 
 
Hi Bob,
 
I just picked up the parcel at the P.O. this morning.
I can appreciate your packing job. Very nice! Best I've seen.
The wood was, ok..
Just kidding, that Sapele is like no other.
I'm looking forward to working with it.

Wade

 
Hey Bob,
Just wanted to let you know I got the bindings
yesterday. They are absolutely beautiful. The head
plate of ziricote was exceptional. I can't wait to use
it on my next guitar. Great job and great service. I'm
sure I'll be back for something else!
Tracy

 

Bob
 
My binding arrived at the end of last week. Thanks a
lot! The snake wood is great. It is nicer stuff then
what I was getting from LMI and the cost is a lot
better. If I had extra money I would buy more, but I
don't right now. I'm also looking forward to tying
that Eucalyptus it looks nice
Josh H.
Bob,

I have gotten the package (Friday), and, as usual, the quality of the purflings and binding is excellent, and the packaging was perfect.

Thanks for another happy transaction!

Russ
Everything arrived safe and sound, thanks.
 
Impeccably packed, I just want to thank you again for restoring my faith in
the brilliance of humanity.
 
Absolutely inspiring thank you!
 
Sincerely,
Jeremy
Bob,
 
Thanks for the very nice spruce top. It surpassed my expectations. And
thanks again for the uniform sanding job. The thickness was right on the
money! 
 
Best regards, Mark M
Hey Bob,
     Got the wood today and WOW...thanx for the snakewood butstrip and the sapele headplate. I expected the Quilted bubinga to be nice but the pics in no way do it justice...I shot a quick coat of laquer "just to see" and WOW!!!

Hi Bob, 
I received this wood in good order Friday and the client is extremely
happy!
 Hope to do business with you again.
 Cheers,
 Richard!
Hey Bob,
I want to let you know that I've recieved the set you sold me.  It is, to my taste, just about the most beautiful back/side set I've ever seen.   
Again, My Thanks,
Harlan
 
Hello Bob,
 
I received my tonewoods today and I must say, it's truly the most beautiful wood I have ever come across so far, Thank you kindly..............Brigitte
Hi Bob 

 Received the order today. Everything was great and packaging was super. Thanks alot - Mike

Hi Bob,  Just wanted to let you know I received your shipment.  Terrific pieces!  

Thanks,   Dave

 

Hi Bob,
Just wanted you to know that everything arrived safe & sound. I showed the Cocobolo back set to my client & he insisted on placing it (bookmatched) on one of his office chairs so he could admire it from his desk for the entire afternoon ... I think he's in love. The binding is SUPER! The top is truly lovely ... it's tap tone sustains for 30 seconds & the look is simply gorgeous - exactly what I was hoping for. You did it again Bob, thank you very much. Now I've got to go join some wood,

Skip

Bob

Really appreciate it. By the way I received the Cocobolo yesterday( nice set) the customer for this Sapele 12 string was in the shop and fell in love with the cocobolo and asked me to build a classical for him with it.

Thanks for the great selections

Hi Bob:

Many thanks for my order which arrived as you had planned yesterday, Saturday.

I could not be more pleased with the wood AND the joining and matching that you did for me too!  Actually, thrilled is a more appropriate word! 

Thanks again Bob.

Warm Regards,

Hesh  

Just received the order in great shape - excellent packaging. The redwood top is simply gorgeous - thanks!!

Mark

Bob,  I received my Black Limba today, what superb wood!  I can't believe that I got such good wood for such a low price! 
The bindings are great, and the bonus 3 extra on the bubinga was a very pleasant surprise, I can do two guitars with it now. 
 
Great service Bob, we will be doing business again!
 
Colin
 
Bob,
    I want to let you know that the Black Limba set arrived safe and sound this morning.
I have been drooling over this stuff for a long time and when I saw you had some new sets available I could not help myself.
This stuff looks great and I'm sure it will make a great sounding guitar!
    Thanks again,
            Louis
Bob - The mailman brought my Flamewood this morning.  Thanks for the
impressively swift delivery.
 
The Flamewood is GORGEOUS!  It is probably the nicest looking wood that
I have picked up anywhere.  It has a wonderful, bell-like tap tone.
I don't want to squirrel it away, I want to start a new guitar TODAY! 
Did I say I like the Flamewood?  I think I like the Flamewood!
 
Regards, 
Jim
 
Hi Bob,
I was finally able to pick up the wood today at the post office. Both sets exceeded my expectations. Once again, a pleasure doing business with you.

Roger
Hey Bob,

This was my first wood purchase as a professional luthier, and I wanted to thank you for making the whole transaction so easy.  The wood was absolutely beautiful, and it arrived much faster than I anticipated.

thanks,
Jake
Hi Bob 
The South American lacewood back&sides has just arrived. The wood is dense and very rosewood-like, just as I want for my guitars. Thanks for the matching head plate.

Hi, Bob,
