Hi everyone! I'm getting ready to build another guitar, and I'm looking to find some good quality red abalam heart strips and rosette. Anyone have a recommendation for me? I'm also having trouble locating a red black red black premade purfling. Or even a red black. Every thing seems to be bwbw etc. Just black and white. Do I have to make these up custom? Thanks in advance. Hope everyones doing well. Mark |

Mark, I get almost all of my pearl products from Andy DePaule. Just Google DePaule Supply. Andy's a great guy and has some really nice stuff. |

Gurian would be the guy to call for the purfling. He has a website where you can design your own, but you have to buy a whole layout of the stuff. Dont know if you want that much. Maybe go in with somebody with halfsies. www.gurianinstruments.com/ Homeboy |

are you looking for red abalone heart ablam or red abalone heart strips. if it is the latter the last time i looked ebay vendor candy033 had some up on his store. i have purchased from this australian vendor frequently and found rhem to be reliable sellers of quality product at extremely good prices. i would also recommend depaulle's. |

Rescue Pearl...yep. They work directly with the Duke of Pearl, who is the Abalam guy. |

I make my own blk/red/blk, or whatever as far as colours are concerned .. get the veneer, glue them up, then cut them. Unless you want them as side purf, then if possible, use a big piece of binding wood, and glue about a 3/4 inch wide strip of your colours ont he bottom, then slice up with a thin kerf blade, and voila - ready custom made binding/purf combo, ready to bend. not sure if Andy has separate red ab heart, you could also try mopsupplies.com - he has lots of stuff as well. |

I dont think Andy sells abalam, only real shell (or at least he used to). |
