    no worries Shazz, I find it's easier to clean the binding before each stain/intensifying coat, plus the binding will become nice and smooth and polished

    Just decided to see what my guitars future entails... I thinks it's gunna be a mean looking axe! Also stoked with the colour matching with the headstock at this point. I haven't done the intensifying coats so may change in the future, but considering the different timbers used and their different properties, I think I've done well.

    That looks absolutely awesome!

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Hey there Doc, I still have the intesifying coats to go so that will bring the colour on the body out more, and then a clear final coat is applied
