The binding is painted on but you would never know it, looks 100% real even up close... We discussed putting a real binding on it but as the neck was attached to the body it would have been very difficult to do the rooting. I'll put some detail up of the painted binding when I get a chance.

 

The final finish is indeed nitro... As a matter of fact it still has that sticky neck feel to it which I'm hoping will go away as the finish cures...
