We offer traditional angle-cut linings with kerfing that faces outward, and a newer radiused style with reverse kerfing. The reverse style can add more stiffness to the sides, and a smoother appearance inside the body.

Kerfed lining ("kerfing") forms a surface for gluing and reinforcing a guitar's soundboard, sides and back. Each lining is kerfed (slotted) to allow easy bending to fit a guitar's curved sides.

Dreadnought and National™ style guitars require eight strips. Dobro® and soundwell instruments require twelve strips. Specially sized kerfed lining for mandolins (also for dulcimers) are available.

Reverse Mahogany Kerfing

I tried the reverse mahogany kerfing on my last guitar and while it turned out OK, it was extremely difficult to work with. It cracked all over the place and bunched up on the tight curve at the waist. I've used the standard basswood on most of my other guitars and will continue to do so.

traditional mahogany kerfing

I have tried to make my own. What a mess. These are consistently perfect. Time saving. Definitely a good buy.

Time saver

The time needed to set up a jig and cut the strips and make all the cuts is considerable. These are of a very high quality. I don’t think that buying kerfed linings takes away for the idea of a hand made guitar and gives you time to concentrate on more important aspects of the guitar. The only improvement I’d like to see is for them to come in longer lengths.

Fantastic

I'm used to use the mahogany reverse kerfing and they are perfectly shaped. Highly recommended
