Depending on how heavy that top edge radius is you may be forced to not only have a binding, but a Purfling strip inside it as well. All of which would make it a pretty unique Tele!

Thanks for making me look up the difference between "binding" & "purfling".

Maybe you could paint a binding strip instead?

a la Albert Collins Tele.


This guitar does not have binding. It was painted on by the previous owner, who also installed the humbuggy in the neck position.

Yes your right, will check that when the binding arrives.

But this is the effect i want to create, so maybe no need for purfling.

Bafflement and confusion are my preferred weapons which, more often than not, I use to shoot myself in the foot; sometimes both feet.
