Hey, if any of you guys get a chance to check out real bursts, look at how the binding was dressed on those. They angled/rolled the top part of the binding AFTER the guitar was finished, you can see where the finish is scraped away and is kind of rough. They must have used either a scraper or a file, not very smooth actually. Where the player has played it usually has smoothed out over the years, but on the upper bout where there is no playing wear, you can still see the exactly the way it left Gibson. Also, there are hardly any binding 'nibs' on vintage Gibsons. This is something Gibson has forgotten, and most of the replicas don't get it right either.
