How could it possibly do that? The binding serves two purposes (that I know of). It hides the joint between the top and the sides, and it strengthens said joint. It cannot affect how the top moves because the top is already glued to the kerfling and a bit of the side-wood. The guitar would sound the same whether the binding existed or not.

@ Op, try brushed aluminum, or some other material.
