Title: where to find a maple top/veneer in the UK?
Post by: andi.j on February 05, 2010, 01:48:10 PM

short version of the story is this...

I have a guitar I've been working on little by little for some time and I've come to the decision that it needs a top!
(quilted maple is my theory but i'm open to ideas)

It's a seven-string ibanez shape without the forearm cut so i have a flat surface to apply a top or veneer to but a google search (at work, on the sly...) hasn't yielded much in the way of useful results so any suggestions for suppliers would be most welcome :)

Thanks

andi

andy prime has a large selction of great maple for tops

is worth sending him an email with your requirements

for veneer thickness i ofen use this shop

but its worth keeping an eye on ebay for special pieces
