Binding: which version on my body??

[gianluca.nostro]

Hi! I'm creating my new Tele custom body.... but now the question is

Binding white or ivoroid???

 

[Great Ape]

Ivoroid! Goes with the earthiness of that fantastic choice of bocote, and still has plenty of contrast
with the wood...that's going to be a glorious guitar!

ccasion14: thanks!

 

[Glimmer]

Ditto for ivoroid.

 

[mayfly]

I'd do neither.  My money is on pearloid!

...Everyone needs some glitz in their life... 

 

[Logrinn]

Ok, I'll chime in too:

Why not black binding? Looks good with the f-hole ...

 

[Cagey]

Between the white and ivoroid, I'd go with the ivoroid, but better still might be the cream. It's easier to match pickups and knobs to. In the end, though, I think Logrinn got it right. Black binding front and back would look killer with some black hardware on that body.

 

[Logrinn]

Thanks Cagey!  :icon_thumright:

My money's on the Ivoroid. Although the Pearloid might work too, it might be a little bright against  the Bocote.

 

[Great Ape]

Bocote don't need no stinkin' glitz!  :icon_jokercolor:

"Binding? We don't need no stinkin' binding!"

Here's a nice example of a fancy-grain natural wood with black binding.  Spalted Maple as opposed to Bocote, but to get a visual.

Thanks guys!

I really like the Ivoroid but to be honest also black sounds very good!

Mmmmmmmm.... and now?  :laughing7:

 

[Axkoa]

I would say Black. But between ivoroid and white...ivoroid.

 

[rgand]

I'm with the black crowd. It would accent the wood best.

This is one of my favorite Warmoth builds.

I say neither. Binding cheapens the look of a nice body.
