This one is off to a new home tomorrow so I wanted to get some shots up before it is packed. I dropped by a hardwood vendor a couple of years ago and they had just gotten in a pallet of 3' boards, so there was a cubic yard of boards banded together with the shipping documents still in place and showing that it was granadillo from Mexico. I'll have to take the shipper's word for it because this board was different from very other board in the unit and unlike any granadillo i've seen. I asked whether I could go through the stack (never do this unless you are willing to neatly restack it or it will be your last time!) and, at the bottom, finally found one useable board. The beeswing figure and areas of pink tint make it pretty unusual and attractive.
Other details:
one piece Sitka spruce top
ebony fretboard, bridge and binding
Honduras mahogany neck
unbleached bone nut and saddle
Gotoh UPT-L tuners
Tru-Oil finish
strung with Southeast mediums
