That would have to be some afull strong glue to pull a chunk out of the mahogany......DocNrock said:DangerousR6 said:And one other thing, that's a thin ass lam top. Mine I bought is like 5/16" thick......That top looks paper thin..... :doh:
Precisely...I have a hard time imagining a strength defect in the spalt allowing a "chip" to be taken out of the underlying solid mahogany just because it was glued to it.
misplacedsanity said:I'd take the refund. I understand how you must be itching to get your hands on the guitar
you'd set your heart on, I would be too. But that would just bug me, maybe only a little at
first, but the longer I had the guitar the more I would center all my anxiety on the chip.
Over the years my stress would grow, thinking about the chip would become all encompassing,
I wouldn't be able to sleep or concentrate on anything else. The chip would take control.
Around this time I would conclude the only solution would be to end the human race, I would
gain political power under the promise of low tax, free love and chipless guitars. Once elected
I would declare war on everybody, nuclear holocaust would follow, the world would be
decimated.
Is that what you want? Because that's what will happen.

DangerousR6 said:Brent, I know how you feel about the spalt, everyone's different. However looking at how thin that top is, I'd say chances are they probably got several tops outta that one particular piece...I know you have some blk korina allready, but this piece kinda looks spalted. It's what i was going to pick had I not found that piece of spalt that i got. And I think it would lookd bad ass on mahogany.....
But i do have to give the guys at Warmoth for thier efforts to make you happy....I'd ask for a plane ticket to WA so I could hand pick a new piece..... :laughing7:

Nice piece of Limba. Perhaps they'll put me up at the Westin...I like the heavenly bed and shower. :laughing7:

+1 on wouldn't have noticed. If it were me, I'd take the body with discount; pieces of flamed spalted maple are far and few between.
DocNrock said:Alternatively, ask them to route it by hand to make it symmetrical? :doh:
