I found some thin slabs of curly maple that will work perfect for the top of this guitar (I hope). they're each about 8 inches wide and 20 inches long. they vary between about 3/16" and 3/8", I need 1/4" so hopefully i can find enough good pieces that will cover the guitar and look nice. They're pretty rough so they'll need a fair bit of planing. I only need two of these but i got 4 because they had 4 that were big enough. So I'll have a little contingency. They ranged in price from 3 to 7 bucks.
This is an example of what curly maple could look like when its finished. they can vary a fair bit so hopefully two of these are close enough to be used side by side on top of the guitar. My plan is to stain the top grey and do a black burst around the edge. The side and back will be all black.
