Two & Three Piece Craft Sets

So, what is a craft set?  It’s the most concise way I can think of to say “Book-matched-sets-that-can-be-guitars-or-boxes-or-anything-else-you-can-think-of”.  A lot of this collection consists of “guitar top seconds” in other words, sets that have an imperfection that throws it out of consideration by large-scale guitar builders.  However, often “defects” make a piece go from “nice” to “a-freakin’-mazing”, so a unique guitar is not out of the question with these sets.  The other crafting possibilities are endless too.

Just to keep you on your toes though… there are actual, perfect guitar top sets available in this collection too, as well as book matches that are too cool together to separate into billets or cut into other components, so be aware and read the descriptions carefully.

A word about grade… Throughout the descriptions on products, wood grade will frequently be noted. Below is an explanation:

  • 3A refers to light figure.  A 3A piece may have small “dead spots” where the figure is not present at all or is so light that it will only be seen once the piece is finished.
  • 4A refers to nice figure, which covers the entire piece, but lacks iridescence, or "pop".
  • 5A refers to strong figure and “iridescence”, which means white contrasting lines.
