RobinTheHood Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 You'll have to post a pic of the guitar. There are/were a few models with neck binding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad1 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Very nice looking guitar. Congratulations! It's not rare. It's not on most G400s. But it's not rare. But it looks nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueman335 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Ah yes, a white SG Custom with a Maestro. Looks as sweet as the blond in the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epi Rocks Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Ah yes, a white SG Custom with a Maestro. Looks as sweet as the blond in the picture. Hey Blueman, I liked the geet so much I even bought 2 coffee mugs with the picture on it. One for Gillian and one for me. (Would've loved to have ordered the blond too but....... Gillian doesn't feel that I need that kind of distraction). Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Bill Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 The issue of rarity has been addressed.. but those large inlays look good on a neck with binding. There are some newer models that have dot inlays with binding, which looks a bit cheap, IMO. I happen to think that large inlays should always accompany binding.. they sorta make a statement that there's something special about a model.

gvdv Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Hi, Congratulations on your purchase. I think that I may have read somewhere recently that the Faded Cherry G-400 comes with a visibly bound neck (and I know that I did read, also, that the regular Cherry version does have a bound neck, but that the color is very similar to the Cherry, so the binding is difficult to notice).
