Murph Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I've gone full circle. I now (again) like the feel, and the visual, of binding from my point of view. I could do without fretboard markers, dots, blocks, whatever because I can't see them when playing, but I'm a fan of neck binding because of the quick reference. What say you? Murph.

Murph Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 I only brought it up because I have a '79 SG as a spare, and a guy in the crowd ragged me to play it a while back, and man, I was having a hard time seeing the dots after playing the (Bound) ES-339 for so many months. We have a decent light setup too, but, I guess I'm getting spoiled. Best to ya'll. Murph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saturn Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I don't dislike binding, but if it's not there it no big deal to me. I do prefer large fretboard inlays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundergod Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Yes for gibsons. No for fenders. But since this is the gibson forum I picked yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see my trapazoid inlays a lot better than the dots on my SG or Strat. Plus, even though my Studio has no binding, it still has dots on the top edge of the rosewood fingerboard.
