StewMac Guitar Assembly Molds
Tools
Our shop foreman Todd Sams, who also builds great bluegrass guitars,
wowed us with these innovative molds. Made of strong non-warping
2"-thick MDF board, they feature pivoting threaded thumbscrews that
tuck into the grooved ends of each mold for closure. There’s no external
hardware to get in the way of your assembly clamps. Each mold includes
two adjustable threaded spreader rods with contoured hardwood cauls to
align the guitar waist, neck block and tailblock. With your bent guitar
sides secured in the mold, you can glue the blocks, clamp the linings,
sand the kerfed edges, and install the soundboard and back. The body
stays correctly aligned, no guesswork. When you’re finished, simply
remove the spreaders through the soundhole.

Beautiful hardwood bindings

and trim from one piece of wood
A great idea: all the parts for trimming a fine
acoustic guitar, cut from a single piece of wood.
That’s a guaranteed match! Body and fingerboard
binding, backstrip, end trim, heel cap and truss rod
cover in one precut piece, 34" long by 0.085" thick.
Costs less than buying separate pieces, too.
Laser-cut Wood #2043 Curly Western Maple $34.95
Binding Set #2044 Plain Eastern Maple $34.95
#2045 Indian Rosewood $39.95
NEW ZipFlex makes it easy to install

beautiful abalone purfling!
Super-flexible!
ZipFlex® Abalone Purfling

ZipFlex is real abalone shell on a flexible strip that bends into
tight curves. It looks great—just as if it were assembled piece-
by-piece. Install it between black/white
trim and you’re done in one simple step! #1480 .047" width $26.40
#1481 .064" width $27.75
ZipFlex strips are 15" long x .055" deep.
