I am considering replacing some binding on Artist DIY LP Kit before doing anything else . The binding is white and I want to replace it with black.
I have a router cutter set up to do the job but I am worried that it might not handle the cutting or go bad on me ? Has anyone done this before ?
I’d try and pull it off first. Sometimes that glue is not that good

Thank you all . I am now thinking maybe I will try first to remove and save the white binding, then route deeper and end up installing both the black and white bindings together ?

Getting jiggy with it on that one.
Check the replacement or overlay binding against the existing to see what sort of bevel you will need to perform to match it up to determine the practicality of this move.
Just gonna say I think that is a massive job that will be way harder than you expect. I'd be prepared to put in lots of hours and lots more money than the guitar is worth. Good luck....

Sounds like just the job for... Singlecoil!
I am going to leave it as it is. Too much not really needed ! Thanks for all the input people.
Buy more guitars, do less with them.
That's NZG at work!
