This is a very rare event. We are auctioning off a set of LMI "Special" Grade Madagascar Rosewood. These sets haven't been available for a number of years and they are just about the best MadRose you will find anywhere.

This set is large enough for a Dread. Retail price on this is $550 but the first person to offer $475 will get it plus FREE domestic shipping. This auction ends Tuesday at noon EST in the usual fashion.

Oooohhhhh! NICE! The W.A.S. account has been completely depleted, or I'd be shelling out the "buy it now" bucks tonight!

The wide end of the sides are 5"

You can easily get a full size dread from this set.

seriously, i didnt even know that mad rose in that quality even existed anymore. pretty hefty price tag, but im just amazed its still out there. gorgeous wood. im thinking about taking out a second mortgage just to stock up. wait... i guess that would have to be third mortgage. oh well.

Look at the date on it. Its from 5 years ago, so yes this stuff exists, but if you don't already own it, you probably wont ever get any. The only consolation to all of us who would have bought this set but didn't get it is that it probably went to someone who will do it justice. At least thats what I tell myself.
