Maiden69 Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 No, binding is binding. You can make a faux binding by either painting or leaving the natural wood color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setch Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Binding is not purely cosmetic, it also protects the vulnerable edges of the guitar from knocks or bumps. If you bang your headstock against something (uumm, make that when, not if...) you will chip the painted binding, and the result will look cheap and nasty. If you bang a bound headstock, you may chip the clear over the binding, but the chip will be pretty inconspicuous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
