The binding on the top looks OK, its just right at the end where it meets the neck that’s a little rough. I have a couple of thoughts on a fix, but will depend on what finish is chosen. I’ll post up some pics of that area a little later on.

Send me a PM if you are going with gold hardware. I may have some options for you for a trapeze if you need.
I think we’ll be sticking with the chrome at the moment, but good to know, cheers.

Yes, the flame is very nice and the match job is pretty good as well. I think a trapeze will be the easiest solution. I am hoping to push him in the direction of ‘keep it simple’, but I guess we’ll see.
