Abs purfling source

Post by Jackspt28 » Mon Dec 23, 2013 11:33 am

Happy Holidays all, was wondering if anyone has a source for B/w/b abs plastic purflings I don't care for the fiber type as they are not as sharp in appearance . Thanks Jack

Guitar Makers Connection, Stewmac, LMII are as good as anybody good selection. Our KMG purfling is BWBWB. What guitar are you going to put this on?

Hello Ken, I am building a OM model from parts/ wood I have collected. I didn't start the Norman Blake 12 fret model yet. I don't like the fiber type stuff. I like the ABS stuff you supply with your kits ( bwbwb and the bwb.) I have some fiber stuff from stew mac but it is not as clean/bright looking as the abs stuff. Thank ,JAck.

I use the fiber with wood bindings and the ABS with plastic binding. I like the contrast those combos give me.
