This item was owned and stored by my father, whose hobby was guitar making. Purchased from LMI in the late 2000s to early 2010s. Specifically, it is Sapele mahogany. I recall it came about as a substitute when Honduras mahogany and others became scarce. It looks and sounds like mahogany. There is a slight warp in the back. See image 13. A portion of the edge of the back material has been cut off. See image 12. I think it will not interfere with cutting out a D size. Otherwise, there is no damage such as cracks. Masking tape used to hold the wood together during storage is still attached. Please remove it during shaping. My father renovated a room in the basement as a workshop, and the temperature was relatively stable, but he did not use any special equipment to control the temperature. Please understand that this item has been stored by an amateur. I request careful and respectful handling, so I will ship it directly to a shipping company. I would appreciate it if you could understand that the shipping and packing costs are included in the price. Also, please note that it may take a few days from the time of purchase to the shipping procedure due to work commitments. Please let me know in advance if you have any preferred delivery dates or times.
