Default Single Side Set Source?
I like to laminate sides and since LMI went out of business I've not found a good source for "separate" side sets. Any suggestions?

Thank You

Thanks. Contacted StewMac today and they don't carry separate side sets.

I've used a half-dozen sellers there.

I bought some extra thick Walnut veneer from Certainly Wood for that very purpose.

Certainlywood has some good deals on 1/16" veneers when you purchase in bulk.

The semantics seem to be strange here, wouldn't a single side be a "single" piece and non laminated?

Anyway, I saw these the other day. Might be what you're looking for.

If you are talking about a continuous side wrapping the entire guitar, I’d recommend a lumberyard. Your nomenclature is not in the normal Lutherie lexicon.

I want to say that Allied Lutherie used to sell side sets and back sets separately, or combined. Quick look at their website does not seem to show that option anymore, but might worth a call to them.

Depending on what you need, Exotic Wood zone also has side sets.

I had the impression this was what you were were interested in. From some of the other posts we seem to be unsure what you were looking for.

Seems the semantics are a bit strange and trying to clarify. LMI used to sell 'sides sets' separate from the usual 'backs and side sets' sold most places. So am looking for only sides without backs.
