Show Us Your Guitar's Nice Wood Binding!
 

I can honestly say a couple of short years ago I knew zip about wood binding on acoustics. I would (wood) have got very different binding on my custom made acoustic if I had known. I noticed wood binding after getting my Lowden S35 and then..oh oh..

With the release of the new Martin Deluxe with wood binding, I think I am not alone....maybe a new 'craze' coming? I don't know how I could play another guitar with plastic on it after owning these!:D:D:D
I suppose there is a catch, apart from price?

Anyway show us your wood binding...old and new.!

I'll start you off with my first puppy - 1993 Lowden S35 with Tasmanian Blackwood/Cedar with (I think) Sycamore/Rosewood and perhaps a Mahogany stripe binding?:

The one and only guitar that I've built. Ebony bindings (a challenge to bend without cracking) and maple prufling lines. Koa top, back, and sides.

And to think some inexpensive Larrivees have come standard with nice wood bindings for some time.

It gives a fantastic look to the finish of a guitar.
And fwiw, there are plenty of these in the custom shop forum here.
