My first build (IB-1F)

Hi FrakenWashie,

I've contacted Adam, a reply will come when i'm asleep i thing since i live in the Netherlands. Hoping he can come with a solution or else i guess i need to buy some new binding, and start sanding deeper grooves in some way.

As for the frets, lets hope it will be fixed aswell, but if it wont be possible, i guess i'll have to go with the method of wicking it under and sanding down the neck afterwards. Lets hope it does not have to get to that point.

Thanks for the reply!

The other thing you could do, rather than use a router to strip the binding is to try and use a razor blade or similar to remove the binding. Once the biding itself is off, you can use a file, a fine rasp or P80 sand paper stuck to one side of a flat block to sand your rebate back and provide an even depth for new binding. It would be very painstaking work, but it may prove easier than the router method given the contours of the IB body.
