                                                                                                                                                                                                   These sets of top, back, and sides will build a double cutaway guitar with a body that's 16" wide and 19" long. The matching sides are a very wide 3", to allow you to interpret your ideal body depth. These sets are available in straight-grain and curly maple show faces, and can be special-ordered in the wood of your choice.
 
Top and back plates are three-ply, with each ply built up of two layers of veneer, and measure about 0.140" thick. In the interest of weight-saving, the stiff and strong sides are three-ply, about 0.065"  to 0.075"thick, depending on veneer thickness.

Italian Ebony?
Do they grow it in Sicily?
I have no idea where the factory is, but I think this wide, one-piece veneer is going to look terriffic on your guitar.
