Black Korina Body Binding

[stomp]

So, I'm soon going to order myself the body for my first build- an all-black korina LP body which I'll finish up with an oil finish. However, I cannot for the life of me decide on the binding.  I definitely like the effect of binding on natural finish guitars because they so well define the front of the guitar, but I can't visualize which color binding would look best, not to mention I'm sure that varies with the the look of the particular piece of wood.  I suppose I'm leaning towards ivoroid or cream, but has anyone built something similar and/or have any thoughts on (or better yet, pictures of) it? It's kind of frustrating being stuck on a purely aesthetic point.  Thanks!

Ivoroid. The Korina is very organic looking and so is that binding with the bone marrow pattern in it when you look close. The ivoroid is considered to be a higher end product and is a much more expensive material to buy.

Depends on the rest of the guitar. Black or nickel hardware with black binding would look good. Ivory for gold hardware. arty07:
