Thinking about something different. Japanese Tamo Ash with blue dye. Paid almost $9000. Have standard guts and upgraded binding posts. Complete set of grills and rear baffles, black.
I am taking these to the factory this weekend. The blue will be sanded off and they will be finished in a natural/clear color. if you want this veneer but with a color added, now is the time to speak up. Price will be reestablished after they are refinished by the factory.
