mark555 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Steiner, I can see why you would have binding on your guitars as you have photographed here, so I must concede that with certain guitars my opinion was incorrect in my post. Hfan, your technical knowledge is beyond my simple definition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hfan, your technical knowledge is beyond my simple definition! +1 I must admit I am a plain and simple kind of guy but Stiener's and FredZepps's photos are just plain marvelous. Enough to make me change my mind. I too must concede that certain guitars are much prettier with the binding. Just gorgeous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chico Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 bound or unbound? depends. creme or white binding? single or multi-ply? And, when there is binding on the headstock, some are with mop diamond, or without. On my Millie DC it is multi-ply white/black on the body, single white on the headstock and neck WITH a MOP diamond and 'the Heritage'. On my Millie DC, the same except no diamond MOP inlay. bottom line? the choices are just about unlimited. I would have to say that my favorite binding is the creme binding on the H150CMs and H535s. It really ages nicely and tones in well with the finish. On the other hand, a H535 with dot inlays and rosewood fretboard begs to be left unbound on the neck, same for the H137. choices choices choices. just when you fall in love with one you find another one with different appointments catches your eye.. aka Lovin Spoonful Did You Ever Have To Make Up Your Mind I can love em all, just depends.
