deshibs Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Hi again, I have my Fender body sanded down to the wood, so far so good. I was thinking about the next steps that I want to take with it while sanding and one thought that I had was this; Since I am planning to use a flamed maple veneer on the top, would it be nice to use a binding around the edges ( hope that is the correct terminology ). What do you think Does everyone think it will work well and would it be a good idea to apply my stains to the body before binding it, that way I don't have to worry about the dye bleeding into the binding material. deshibs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morben Guitars Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 If you have a router, then go for it. Practice on some scrap first. You can't finish before you bind becuase of all the sanding/scraping/shaping necessary after the binding is attached. Lots of glue squeeze-out as well. You can tape off the Side of the binding with a good vinyl tape - but the top just stain over...it scrapes off very easily with a razor blade.
