How much purfling?

Charts showing how much purfling is needed for Dreadnought and 000 guitars



Updated 09/06

Purfling

Abalone purflings can be squared and mitered with a file. For gradual curves, fit straight purflings into the glue-filled channel and break them into confrorm to the curve. Our curved purflings will fit slightly smaller or larger diameter channels.
