Hello Friends, I am planning ahead and looking into some herringbone trim for an instrument. I have read the horror stories. I figure it is best to start with the best materials possible, if possible. Who has the good stuff? |

Hans, I don't know what horror stories you've heard. I have used Allied's stuff ( Gurian ) for several guitars and have been happy with the results. Plain "Martin syle" herringbone. I also use the single or "rope" purfling. I look it over carefully when I get it in, and I try to keep my stock separated by order date, to keep the "batches" together. |

We have plenty of wheat here in Kansas, USA and you can buy it by the bushel! Hurry, though, the price keeps going up. |

Hans: If you are looking for regular herringbone perfling you might try LMI. I've used their product for years with no trouble. Tom |
