Great resource! A godawful site, but they look like they have great stuff. I also see that I get my fretboard slotted and radiused for $16. That's pretty attractive.
Is Luthiers mercantile the only one out there?

IMO it's just godawfully ugly and hard to use. Sorry, just my opinion and I probably should have kept it to myself. Especially since it doesn't have any bearing on this thread. I'll happily retract the statement.

Maybe rephrase it, but don't retract it
. The site does take getting used to. I don't know what it is, but I felt the same way about it the first few times. Of course, the less money they spend on a flashy website, the less they need to charge for maple fingerboards, right?tjclem said:
My main beef is that its about the only site these days that doesnt give a price for international shipping and just states
"Please note that for international orders the actual cost of freight is added when your order is shipped"
Thats not a lot of good for me as i like to know how much shipping will affect my final order price and untill they sort it i'll continue to order from mac or elsewhere anyplace that can be bothered to give me a shipping price upfront...
and just so i dont derail the thread try this ebay shop
