Black bindings...

[davedhaens]

Hi guys
maybe this had already been thought about but as a newbie i'm alowed to make these mistakes i hope...

Black bindings make a nice difference i think.
I got an acoustic guitar in dark brown vintage satin finish...
With a black binding and it just let the wood get all the attention...

Well at least i think so it does.

Black bindings

All in favor say aye

I think I like the idea - that said, playing with acoustics can be tricky, but given your experience with wood, I reckon you can do it. Check with the Gavmeister who may be able to provide more advice. One thing to note though - check the way the guitar is held together - that the purflings are in place and in good nick before you rip off the only thing holding the guitar together .

This photo doesn't show the black binding that well, but it looks great with this colour guitar. I actually selling this guitar at the moment so I can fund further kit purchases.

Stewmac supplies both the black 'plastic' binding and the ivory wood binding...you can probably get a black perloid off ebay too.

just picture that on a ES style kit
f-holes could be made like black holes

i'd like to try and make a dark toxic green guitar...black bindings would set that off just right i think

white is classic and makes the guitar look great...but it can't do what black could do...and that is make the guitar dark

on the right guitar, black bindings can look great
