Hey Guys,

Garren here from Loucin Guitar Co., just wanting to let all the Canadian builders know that I am the official distributor for Advanced Shell Technologies (Kevin Ryan) "ZipFlex". To start I will be stocking only Paua Abalone & MOP in .047", (adding other shells & thicknesses soon).

www.loucinguitars.com

They will be added to our "store" page by mid August. For now please feel free to contact me directly at garren@loucinguitars.com with ZIPFLEX as the subject.

Thanks,

Garren,

Thanks Garren, no word of a lie.... I emailed Kevin yesterday to see who the Canadian Distributor was!

I'll contact you separately for pricing details....

Thanks Garren. Good to know there is now a Canadian source for this great product.

Hi Garren,

Are you stocking that A4 kerfing as well? I've been using that now for about a year and really like it.

Hi Dave,

Exotic sells a knock off of what Kevin developed with the A4. Kevin's liners are also cleaner and look nicer. I don't mind buying them direct from Kevin, but will buy them from Garren if he stocks them.
