wisdom727 Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 I may have my first commission build soon. Since I know his parents, I've offered to do it for the cost of materials. The fellow wants an Ibanez RG-style African mahogany body with a reverse-headstock Jackson-style (or maybe ESP) maple neck. He asked for a satin-black solid finish, but because I don't have any spray capabilities (especially in winter), I suggested that I could do a black stain with oil finish instead. That seems acceptable. (Demonx has a great example of that on his web site: Andrews SS6 "Warhorse".) The greatest challenge for me will be white plastic binding on the body front, neck, and headstock. It's kind of like an MTM2 model. I've never done binding in past, and of course I'm intimidated by routing the channel around the forearm carve. Q; Does anyone know what size StewMac binding would be suitable for an RG?
