Binding on a guitar......first attempt!
Hey fellas!
I'm having a go at putting binding on a mahogany tele project i'm doing. Here's some pics so far... I'll have a go at updating this as I go today.

Re: Binding on a guitar......first attempt!
looks like a mission!!! So in these pics, have you glued the binding, and have got it held in place with the tape?

The binding is glued in. I'm using a heat gun to bend around the tighter corners. It's actually not too bad to do!AiRdAd wrote:looks like a mission!!! So in these pics, have you glued the binding, and have got it held in place with the tape?
