I've built a few guitars in the past ie a few acoustics and a number of Fender type electrics, but never bound a finger board.
So my question is bind the neck like Gibson does and then shape the binding flush to fretboard and frets ? Or start with the binding flush to the f/board and nip off the tangs of the fret ends to extend over the binding. ?
Given that a first attempt at anything always has stuff ups which method is easier to stuff up ? And given that there are stuff ups with the uninitiated should I leave the binding to a practice f/board and settle for a an unbound neck like a LP Studio ?
