jay5 Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 I am goint to bind the neck on my project. I just want to do a single piece, nothing layered. Anyway, what is a standard dimension for this application? Here is the link to stewmacs page; http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bindings,_trim...ic_Binding.html thanks!

Lovisa Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 I don't know what is standard, but I am using 0.090" width x 1/4" x 54" on the neck of my bass... and it looks good. But of course if you are making a guitar, a smaller binding is probably better... What do the professionals here say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Not a pro, just something I stumbled across when I was wondering the same thing-- Whoever had answered the question indicated that 0.090 was sort of the 'standard', but that a first-timer might have more luck with 0.060, which will be easier to work. Obviously the aesthetics of the different widths will affect your decision, too, but I'm going with the recommendation of 0.060, myself.

jay5 Posted April 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Greg, that sounds like a plan. I figure that I'll give the 0.060 a go as it is my first time. Thanks to you too Lovisa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
