Master Grade Quilted European Ash Guitar Top Set bookmatched 6,7 mm – Esche Decke Tonh

Quilted European Ash Drop-Top Set for Guitar / Bass – bookmatched, #A2

Common figures in maple, essentially rarely seen for sale in ash. The look is what you'd expect and find as Tamo Ash on Fender Custom Shop or boutique builds.

Photos
"Wet surface" shots show the figure with a wetted surface – this is how it reads under clear coat or oil. "Natural surface" shots show the raw board. All photos are of this exact set.

For reference
StewMac currently sells a plain pommele tamo ash drop top (5.7 mm) for around USD 300. This set is thicker, far more heavily figured and seven years seasoned.
