I've got a wild hair (again) to purty-up my SP101, but the wood grips are sold-out nearly everywhere, and/or expensive as hell.
Not that long ago ( 2 years?) I scored a killer set of Pau Ferro Hogues for my GP100 off Amazon, I paid $40-something.
Now most everything I'm seeing is $70+, with the nice,custom stuff running way more than that.
There's lots of the Thai stuff on E-bay for $43 delivered, but I'm reading that there's some postal problems out there, and to expect a month or so on delivery, and I'm reading some sketchy stuff about that wood they use.
Meanwhile, places like MidwayUSA and OpticsPlanet are back-ordered for a good while. And even Hogue itself is currently sold out of ALL their basic,smooth grips. I wonder if there's an issue with the supply of exotic woods coming in ( I know the feds have been giving hell to the guitar companies over it.)
Any suggestions ?
