Richards Microfit is a good option when it is the only option, but otherwise their stocks tend to be "semi-finished", like around 60% finished, so you have to do a lot of work on them. The laminated wood seems to be very hard on tools, as they need to be sharpened or replaced quite frequently. Unless you are a reasonably skilled woodworker, I would avoid them like I would a syphilitic whore, but many folks feel the need to go down that road and experience the aggrivation firsthand before they make up their own minds.
