randombaz Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Ive read from that reranch site a brief idea of taping around the edge of the guitar and then spraying so you get your own natural binding look. is this possible, has anyone done it? i also imagine taping accurately to be awkward as its curves obviously....im a perfectionist, so im worried this will be easy to mess up if i try it thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlGeeEater Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Hold on im uplaoding the pics. Yea i used Dupli Color rattle cans. Its pertty easy to tape round the edge. You just have ot take you time, leave some slack and make sure that the tape is not popping up anywere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotrock Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 I think there was someone that masked off the area and sprayed some laquer over the edge so that it sealed the wood and stopped any paint soaking into the grain and running into the binding area. I really can't remember who it was, Awsome guitar, I think it won guitar of the month. Quited male top that started as yellow in the centre and went to red/brown at the edge, it's got Mx on the heastock. Seymore Duncan pups and a TOM brdge. I think he has something on his website about how he did it. He certainly explained how he did it in a past thread. Blimey that wasn't a bad explaination, but only because it's my wallpaper and favorite guitar ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotrock Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Aha, It was Myka guitars. Here is a link to the process pics on his web site: http://www.mykaguitars.com/instruments/009...ess/default.htm Have a search through some of his old posts and see if you can find it.
