5:32 Guitar mummification 101 lol , still nice job, do the same rules apply to installing binding to an electric guitar ?

@MaidenFan24568 If the bindings are wood yes. If they are plastic or ivoroid then a different glue is used and it is not really necessary to wrap the guitar

Thank you. I also give classes and workshops on the road. Get a group together and let me know when to sow up.

Im a finish carpenter, and wonder why don't you cut the binding at a 45 at the seam that way it will never separate. Just wondering ..amazing work man

@mandaltby I did that for man years. It was a bit tougher for some of my students so I went to the butt joint and have never had a problem with it separating. It is easier to do too.
