BRACEWOOD

Much of our bracewood starts from a split face, and many of the pieces sent to you may have a split face. However, most of the pieces are sawn. 

 

FLEXSTRONG KERFING            

Our FlexStrong kerfing is both stronger and more flexible than what's widely available on the market. Offered in traditional, reverse and four-way styles; all three styles are also available in a mini version for mandolins and ukuleles. All of the styles available for purchase on the site are 32" in length. The standard kerfing measures .625" x .22" and the miniature version comes in at .45" x .16". We can also make custom sizes and dimensions upon request.

The FlexStrong kerfing is made in house by "jigmaster" (as he was known at RGC), Mike Gutsch.  Mike has an expansive resume having started building his own guitars when he was 14 years old.  Later he moved onto Alembic before becoming the foreman/production designer at Ribbecke Guitar Company.  He has since set out to make his own guitars in our shop here while developing other products in conjunction with us.

 

 

Wide next to regular version.  Customers that use wide binding/purfling schemes have requested an exra wide version of our FlexStrong Kerfing.

TRADITIONAL KERFING

We offer the two styles of traditional kerfing illustrated at right and below.  The dimensions are 0.65" (glued to side)  X 0.22" (glued to top/back) and the flat is about 0.20" for the standard kerfing.  The width on the reverse kerfing is 0.69" and the thickness is 0.22". (32" in length). Standard kerfing available in Honduran mahogany and Sitka spruce, reverse available in Spanish cedar. (Reverse kerfing is glued in the guitar so that the kerfs don't show.)
