Good to know carved burl tops are possible :)
Care to let us know how thick was the top originally, and was it hard to get it? I think such pieces are quite rare...

Never really liked buckeye burl on most guitars I've seen... This is definitely an exception, just wow.

Due to research I figuered out that the tops on Crusher models are 18mm thick at the center point, but I don't know how thick these pieces of buckeye were before they got carved.
Don't know how hard it was to find those blanks, I didn't order them actually, but Ran managed to do so. :shrug:
