Roy's Electric Guitar, Chapter 7







In an earlier blog I decided that we would bind the guitar body using maple as I did the f-hole. Today, to add some contrast a fine line of walnut was glued to the maple binding. The maple bindings were stood upright, glued and clamped to the walnut veneer (picture). A veneer is a very thin piece of wood, like paper. I then cut the bindings free from the veneer and sanded the edges flush so that the two pieces of wood are now one. The finished binding (picture) awaits the the guitar's body.
