I've always thought of celluloid bindings as something you'll find on factory produced guitars, mostly electric guitars or archtops. Hadn't considered them on custom built acoustics and can't think of who does this or offers celluloid as an advantage over custom wood bindings. Your points are valid, as far as durability, I just can't think of who does this in the realm of custom luthiers, where wood is considered so highly. Suggestions?
