Great stash.
This guitar is one I spent years trying to build but couldn't find anyone with a set with that turtle back look.

I'll venture some wild guesses.
I'd really like 1 to be Myrtle, but parts of it seem to dark, which tempts me to wonder if you found a gnarly cocobolo.
2 has some of the quality of Royal Macassar, which I'd like to build something from one day because of the great contrast between the dark and the light sapwood - samples I've seen are blacker than this though and don't have as prominent a grain.
The spalt on 3 disguises the underlying wood - which I want to be maple, but the grain in the center doesn't is far from typical of maple.

So, I don't really know enough to say anything but that I like them.

Peter:
I wondered when you were going to chime in. #3 is indeed spalted maple.

3 right so far, guys !
