White Plastic Binding

Easy to worck with and for a very good price

i used this stuff to build a LP custom style guitar. the stuff is really easy to use, even when making 7 plys of binding. priced right and binds easy even on hard turns. I love this stuff.

White Binding are great! Look carefully and accurately. Excellent fit for my project!

I had to write to tell you all of the exceptional service from here.

Based in Oz, we have to wait some while for things to arrive but I had ordered a length of binding I needed to complete a project and after four weeks I was getting a little frustrated as the job was held up.

So I contacted StewMac to see what the problem might be.

Without hesitation they mailed me a replacement at no cost and asked me to let them know if the other arrived.

Within 24 hours the binding arived via DHL. A day or two later, the other piece finally turned up in the post.

On asking for an invoice to settle up I was told that there was nothing to pay.

The late arrival of the binding was probably the fault of a less than perfect postal service and not StewMac's. To have responded instantly and without payment is quite extraordinary service.

As far as I am concerned, in future they will have my custom for all things guitar, without further thought.

I know a length of binding is not exactly going to break the bank but
in this day and age, a lot of retailers and suppliers could take a large leaf out of StewMac's book on service.

Thankyou guys.

I ordered 1 5779 to do the binding on an Explorer but found it to come up 1.9 inches short so I had to get another piece. The people at Stewmac sold me another but waived the shipping charge which was nice. I almost did not bind this guitar but now that I have I'm glad I did.

It really brings my airbrush painted nitro artwork to life and was relatively easy to install using their binding tape, their binding router bit and bearing, some Weld-On #16, my router and router table and a little patience. I seamed the binding at the rear center of the guitar and you can't really notice the seam. Still more to go with this one but it's coming along nicely!

I ordered your #5779 binding to use for the front face of an Explorer and I find that even before I start, it comes up short!! I can't believe that I'm going to get socked for more very expensive shipping charges and costs for just about 2 inches of this stuff. It also stinks that now I would have to lap or butt joint the binding somewhere to get it completely around the outline. Why can't you let the customer specify the length? what's so magical about 65 inches anyway? I'm left with little choice here but to scrap the binding plan and find some other less suitable solution... I'm really glad that I have not routed the binding channel yet.

Sorry guys but this product offering while technically very good, falls short in some very critical places as to make it practically unusable. For me, on this project, this has been a total waste of time and money.

Very easy to work with. Used the .375" white binding to do a Gibson style 'full nib' binding job on my acoustic guitar fretboard (Macassar ebony with Gold EVO frets). Even where the cement didnt quite bind, i just dropped a few drops of CA super glue in and it came out perfect!

Excellent binding, reacts well to shaping with a heatgun and mixing the scrap with acetone will make an excellent glue for your work. I only wish SM made a multi-lam binding so I wouldn't have to buy it elsewhere.

Ordered (3) to bind a neck and headstock on one guitar. Only needed two so used the extra piece to bind the body of another build. Easy to work with and scrapes down well, but difficult to bend the .090/.025 with your hands for tight turns.

A realy good binding. Takes a
stain well when trying to match
an old binding color.
