Pearloid Binding on Koa/Poplar


Recommended Posts

Here's 2 pics of the pearl binding I've been fighting with today.

It's coming out OK after a bit of a struggle.

The 2 pics on the bottom were taken a few weeks ago, just to give an idea of what the body looks like wetted. Just cut-n-paste the 2 visions together in yer head.

I think I'm going to do the sides black to help enhance the whiteness of the pearl color.

Also I'm going to use pearl buttons on the tuners to complete the 'look.
