It don't have to be competition grade, just Snakewood. |

Gilmer has some. Not cheap, bro. RC Tonewoods (a sponsor) has some, as well. https://www.gilmerwood.com/items.php?sp ... ood&CID=31 http://rctonewoods.com/RCT_Store/fret-b ... 3&sort=20a |

Here's one, got it from Gilmer: Attachment: charles1-1forum.png Seems like if you want one, they're your go-to guys. I did some glue tests, as that guitar had snakewood binding around the body and neck, as well as a snakewood fretboard and headplate. All the test joints had glue failure except the ones that I wiped down with acetone. Wipe on direction only and use a fresh part of the paper towel each wipe. |

Darren Hipner is selling a pair of them on ebay. I believe he noted that they came from Gilmer. Alex |
