USMCHueston0311 Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I am building a PRS style guitar, and want to achieve Faux binding. Whats the best way to do this? Use a rabetting bit and cut it in back to the point where you want your carve to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be taking you up wrong here, But from your post it seems you want to cut a rebate to put binding into, Like a Les Paul. Faux binding is just masking. Faux as in fake. I use pinstriping tape to achieve it. Just tape all around the edge of the guitar top & then apply your stain. When you pull the tape off it appears that you have a seperate binding. I have a lefty Prs thread on here, I think I have it in there BTW. Welcome back to the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCHueston0311 Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I want to leave 1/4 inch of maple on my top for faux binding. So i think that I should use a rabetting bit and go around and stop before the horns, and then rout my topography lines starting back from that first cut. That leaves 1/4 inch of maple, and then the steps to carve down to that level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
