I buy rough sawn full length boards but my supplier does sometimes have guitar sized blanks cause they supply some of the wood to a few guitar factories. They are World TimberCorp. In Hubert NC, just outside of Jacksonville. If you contact them get a hold of Matt, he is a good guy to deal with.

<p>Micha,</p>
<p>Buried within an article on Korina Stratocasters in the Feb., 2014 issue of Vintage Guitar Magazine, (info from the future!!!) is the identity of Fender's former and current wood supplier.</p>
<p>Here's a link: <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.penberthy.com/" target="_blank">http://www.penberthy.com/</a></p>
<p>It appears to be "local" for you, in Torrance, CA..</p>
<p>Hope this info is beneficial :)</p>

Now the salesman are shouting /threatining that the rainforests are being destroyed.And oh yeah buy this exotic hdwd before it/s gone. There are 55000 different species of trees known the world over by scientists.The biggie guitar corp. are buying up the exotics and they get them for 1/3 of what loofiers pay. It really pays to shop around. I get excellent hdwds from a local mill who has a portable bandsaw mill. Check your local area for folks using these mills.These folks will negotiate, and you can get some excellent deals on local hdwds.</p>
