I've bought a lot of redwood and walnut tops from http://tonewood.com/guitar-wood/solid-b ... woods.html Are there any other suppliers that use the same method of picturing the exact top you're buying? |

That is pretty common, LMII does it for their "special" sets. Gilmer in Portland routinely posts pictures of each set, as does Notable in Seattle (when I bought some koa from Bruce he wetted the plates with alcohol to pop the grain and set me pictures so I could be sure) https://www.gilmerwood.com/categories/3 ... d/products http://www.notablewoods.com/gallery/index.html I've ordered archtop sets from a couple of sources who posted pictures on their websites. |

Oh yes I forgot about Gilmer. Good source. Thanks! |

Gobywalnut.com is a good source for walnut and maple. I've bought some nice redwood from them as well. |
