14″ Laminate Archtop mini production run! Wood Binding for Brian Mikiten

Heres some pics of the binding process I did for one of the laminates in this run. My client Brian decided to add some maple binding on the guitar he reserved in order to get some contrast with the color he chose (like this). Its gonna look sweet! Binding work on the laminates is a little dicey, since the outer shell of the guitar is usually only .025 to .035 thick (about half the thickness of a dime). I cant disturb it in any way while installing or accidentally cut into it while trimming. That would suck. Big time. But after going slow and taking my time i got it all installed and looking good! There is a belly bevel installed also, and that will add some ergonomics to the guitar.
