Goddamn, that looks incredible!!!

I have a couple friends that are korina/limba fanatics. I always wondered when I'd see an ERG made of it. Are there any tolerance problems in some pieces of limba? Is some of it too soft to use for that kind of scale/tension?

Black limba is a hardwood...vibrates nicely and feels really solid.

Black Limba is quite stable. The soft "stories" you are referring to is spalting that occurs due to bug holes. Bugs & worms are very attracted to Black Limba, so it`s not uncommon to find boards riddled with insect infestation.

It`s a wonderful tone wood though.
The two 30" scale 8`s I have made with it have had the best string balance (sound wise) that I have heard out of an 8 in that scale

Black Limba is definately Baritone friendly
