Another question before I place my next order.
I plan to have trapezoid inlays with binding on my neck. I was originally going to order a flame maple back but now I'm leaning towards padouk as I really like the feel of unfinished necks. Despite the argument over finished vs. unfinished maple, I don't like the apearance of unfinished maple. This si whay I am leaning to Padouk as it retains a similar sound quality as maple but looks great unfinished.
Only concern is, would the binding look OK without clear coat over it? I'm also wondering if it would look right against a bound body that does have finish over it.
Any thoughts?
PS: If anyone has done a padouk neck without finish, how does it look after a few years of use?
