Hey Anybody!
Back before my time (1979/now) with Sho~Bud they used a wood inlay I will call "Rope". If anyone knows where it can be found I need 3-4 strips. I just received my original 1973 Professional back and it is in sad shape.
I am going to refinish it but don't want to put the Diamond strip instead. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Constantine's lists it on their website but the last time I tried to order some they were out of stock. Best to call them first. It's about halfway down on the right: http://www.constantines.com/inlayborders.aspx?page=2

Austin Hardwoods should have it in stock. They don't have a web store front so you need to call them. It's halfway down in the right column on the second page here: http://austinhardwoodsonline.com/brochures/brochuresubentry/430/1200/2135/

Williams uses it too, so they may be able to help with other sources as well.

Just be sure to call Constantine's first before ordering off their website. They're not very good about updating when things are out of stock. I recently bought some from Austin Hardwoods in Southern Calif, they should have it in stock, slightly less expensive than Constantine's.

I like the rope inlay Jeff Surratt uses, maybe he'll chime in. I was going to call them as I have a 10-string lap I'm building and would like to have the rope inlay as well. It will be similar to a Gibson EH style body.

It's the same stuff Kevin (it's reversible btw, just flip it over).
