Supernova9 Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Dear God, please tell me you're not about to carve up a perfectly good Gibson LP studio just to add binding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aakoo Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 The result looks great! Could you pleas reveal how you did the routing for the binding? Specially how you did it on the neck joint area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bygde Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 When I first read this, my reaction was similar to Supernova9's. However, you pulled this off so clean and awesome that it looks like a Standard without a maple top. Great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan316 Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Dude. WOW. I have no idea how you did the binding on the fretboard. I'm probably too afraid to even learn how! But the pickguard swap was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. Coming from a guy who hates pickguards of any kind, that guitar is a class act now. Matching the pickup rings, even matching the binding... exactly what that guitar needed. Looks totally appropriate in every way. \m/ \m/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanthus Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 A+ work! Great accomplishment! I would definitely send a picture in to Gibson. Maybe they would be so impressed that they would offer you a job! Hey, wishful thinking never hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
