Binding & Purfling Router Bit and Bearings
   Binding & Purfling Router Bit and Bearings

Binding & Purfling Router Bit and Bearings

This combination of bit and bearings is used to cut the binding and also either 4, 5 or 6 pieces of purfling that are included in the USGK products. The spacing between the cutter and the bearing allows the bearing to ride on the side of the guitar whether the user cuts the binding or purfling first.

The Binding & Purfling Complete Set includes a .88, .86, .84 & .82 bearing to cut the top and back binding channel. Because the back is rounded both top to bottom and side to side, the router will not sit completely flat and therefore will not cut an even thickness all the way around the perimeter. The Complete Set also included the .58, .64 & .70 bearings for the purfling options (4, 5 or 6 pieces).

We suggest that builders also have the .86 and .84 bearings to cut a deeper channel where needed. These two bearing will provide a huge time saver with a perfect cut every time. These are included in the Binding & Purfling Complete Set.

Spool clamps allow you to clamp the top of the guitar without the stress from awkward, heavy steel cabinet clamps. Typically, 25 spool clamps will be enough clamps to get you good pressure all the way around. You can never have too many clamps, especially if you are working on multiple guitars at once.

Fret Hammer
   Fret Hammer

Fret Hammer

The fret hammer is an essential tool to seat frets in the fingerboard. It has a comfortable wooden handle with two, 7/8" threaded heads for both power and finesse.

The plastic head is used primarily to reduce denting and damage to the frets while hammering.

A stubborn fret can sometimes need a little more persuasion and using the brass end will give you a little more force to seat a fret completely.

International customers, please inquire for shipping rates.

Kerly Music  Earthtones
   Earthtones Strings from Kerly Music

Earthtone Strings from Kerly Music

All of Kerly Music strings are seasoned through a patented metal tempering process that exposes them to minus 320F and plus 350F for 24 hours. Our treatment strengthens the string at the molecular level, ads tonal crispness, increases durability and dramatically resists corrosive elements that reduce the life and tone of your strings. Tuning is less frequent, and a smoother surface feel is created with stellar bendability.

Our CYCLECOAT™ process uses repetitive Hot/Cold, Hot/Cold, Hot/Cold cycles that close up the microcracks that cause tonal loss and premature breakage. It’s the microcracks in normal strings that allow a string to go dead or break quickly. We close up the cracks and our strings counteract sweat, corrosion and quick breakage.

Book: Guitar Building Basics-Acoustic Assembly at Home

Beau Allen Pacheco

144 pages

ArtKulture an imprint of Wolfgang Publications

Acoustic guitars make the perfect woodworking project. Whether you're a professional musician or simply an interested wood worker, building a guitar is a very satisfying project. Guitar Building Basics presents tree, start-to-finish assembly sequences. Each sequence uses high quality color photography to illustrate every step of the process; from gluing on the top and bottom of the guitar, to installing the strings and sanding the frets for a perfect set up.

The assemblies include everything from a fairly simple renaissance guitar kit to a full dreadnought guitar assembled in a professional shop. With the help of this new Guitar Building book, nearly any amateur woodworker can buy a guitar kit and assemble the whole thing at home using basic woodworking tool. The key is patience and a good set of instructions-provided by this new book with over 500 color images spread across 144 pages.

This book will provide several examples of guitar building from the perspective of unique kits from U.S. Guitar Kits and Musicmakers, to guitar making schools and high end production manufacturers, to the tools of the trade as well as finishing.

Scott Dixon was interviewed and over thirty pages of the book features those discussions on the formation of U.S. Guitar Kits, steps to build the kits as well as the U.S. Guitar Kits Class Program being held across the U.S.

U.S. Guitar Kits is proud to be featured in this most recent book on Guitar Building.
