Little crack on binding glue, should I be concerned?

Should I be concerned about this:

Why does it happened..?

Les Paul Traditional Ice Tea 09

No

Who knows?



People pay big money to have renowned crafstmen ding up their guitars like that on purpose. Not me, but I don't fret over a chip in binding. That's what it's there for, to take the damage so the wood doesn't get it.

Gibson nitros over binding so the nitro came off i think

From a stability standpoint, it's no big deal, but it doesn't look like a huge area, so if you're really that worried about it, a touch-up shouldn't be that difficult.

it had to hit something cause its not a crack but it looks like it hit something and a peice of nitro blew out.

I know! I just felt like busting your balls!

(You should be used to that by now?)

 

[juca]

What's with binding glue...?

 

[juca]

I think there was extra glue on those two spots.

 

[ledlover01]

your title says binding glue?

 

[juca]

Yes, the title says binding glue. Is that wrong? Correct me please

Holy crap, glad someone sorted this out quick!

I've seen guitars completely vaporize only seconds after showing this kind of 'warning crack'. I'm just glad everyone seems to have come out the other side ok this time.

It's a ding, the clear finish came off and it's easily fixed.
