I've been getting that a lot and I've tried to fix it. I'll try to fix it again. Email me about what you were wanting please.

Please try again Mark. I'm not 100% sure it's fixed, but I think it is.

Hi Hunter, are you making these? They are really nice and very affordable.

Yes indeed I am! First time ever trying it and I am very pleased with the results. They're available while supplies last, at which point I'll make another batch.

Converted an early PB5 to a RB5 yrs ago using the original PB neck .
Took me awhile to find the style 5 purfling then so I admire it being readily available today !
BTW , style 5 was advertised as a walnut banjo but in fact that one had an original stained mahogany neck .

Wow that's super cool about the mahogany vs walnut! Never knew what Gibson might've been doing!

Hunter. Great job. I know that recently on a few different threads folks were looking for style 500 and 800 purfling as none could be found at any level.
I know that this stuff is pretty labor intensive to make. Make sure you are charging enough for the final product as I know you are a young start up.
you might also want to send a direct email or a few samples of your purfling to a number of the established neck makers out there. I'm sure a few of them out there could find a use for this or your abilities to custom make specific patterns.
