NotYou Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) I left the pickup rings for this body at home so I brought the body home because I was really curious to see what it would look like with the hardware. I was planning on binding this in ebony, but when my wife saw it, she said it looks good unbound. I'm kind starting to agree with her. I think I might just be subconsciously lazy, though. The wood is bubinga. It'll be a deep shimmery red color when finished, with maybe a hint of purple. The pickups will be nickel like the bridge. It's still in a rough state, so just ignore those nicks around the edges. This will be for sale BTW, I'm not keeping it. The other pickup ring is taller for a different bridge/neck angle. I still have to order the other one. Here's the back(which won't be bound). Edited April 30, 2009 by NotYou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengers63 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Binding makes an electric a little bit classier. I'd say decide if you want it more up-scale or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I was thinkin' John. I would say you should bind it. I think it would look great bound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockhorst Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 I think binding would nicely accentuate that stripe effect from the different woodpieces on the back. Maybe a subtle PRS style binding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
