Hi guys--I have a customer specifying curly flamed koa for binding and headplate on a 7-string archtop. Having trouble finding a source and wondering if anyone can head me in the right direction. Precut pieces would be great but I could do the resawing if someone has a board at least 33" or 34" length for the bindings. Thanks Nelson |

Nelson, I've had good luck getting nicely flamed Koa from Bob Gleason at Pegasus guitars in Hawaii. You might check with him. www.pegasusguitars.com |

Hi Nelson, you could also give Bruce Creps at Notable Woods a call, I have gotten some fantastic Koa from him in the past and he is great to do business with. His prices are right too. http://www.notablewoods.com/ I got to meet Bob Gleason at the ASIA symposium this summer, and he's also a great guy and he has some very nice Koa. I only bought some headplates tho (I didn't want to haul too much wood in my suitcase across the Atlantic), but I did see som very nice stuff on his table. |

I bought koa for two guitars at auction on Ebay a couple of months ago from one James Stady. I was quite pleased, and he threw in freebies enough for a uke, headstock plates, etc. |
