When it does arrive it is sure to be amazing visually and tonally.  +1 vote for lutz being a great top wood.

When it does arrive, make sure to properly humidify (cocobolo's nickname is "crackobolo").

Tough break, zee ( no pun intended). Maybe the third one will be a charm - most beautiful and best sounding of all.
