Installing Binding and Purfling on my Handmade Acoustic Guitar

[@robertr4193]

Hope you see this Jeff. I got an email add from Stewmac this morning saying that they have some European Spruce tops and a few other Variety of spruce and some cedar starting at as low as $49.00 for one sized for a small guitar and I think it was $69.00 for a dreadnought size. Hope it helps out if you are interested.

I think I got that same one. I'll check it out. Thanks for letting me know.

Hi Jeff! I must’ve missed something. I watched your other video where built a binding channel cutter jig that included a retractable lift and donut. Why didn’t you use that binding jig to gut the binding channels on the guitar body in this video? Thanks Jeff!

[@dalgguitars]

I know you built the binding cutter jig. But if you didn't have a YT channel, would you get the Elevated Lutherie binding tool? Even at it's cost? It seems like that's what a lot of professionals are getting now. Toughts?

Thanks! I have never used the Elevate Jig myself but have check out a version of it that a friend of mine made. There's something about that design that seems a bit unstable to me. I'm not a fan of the way you need to balance the instrument on the jig while in use. My friend that tried it has since switched to a design more like I use. I'm not saying the Elevate jig is bad at all, I've seen many builders use it and have great results. Its just not my personal preference and I personally don't think I'd buy it. I hope that helps.

Thank you,....great video taking us through the whole process, purflings and bindings are so crucial for the over-all perfection of craftsmanship, a rough purfling/binding job will attract negative attention quickly.

Glad it was helpful!

First..

[@crazyrees23]

Can you use s side bending jig for celluloid binding or only for wood?

[@yunowot]

Great and cool at the same time = so interesting. My guess was 5-7 cracks per piece. Ah well, just shows me why I shouldn't be doing this and you most definitely should.

[@yunowot]

I can't believe you haven't asked for my name and address yet so you know where to send it.

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Jeff, the guitar is looking beautiful! I can't wait to get caught up and see it finished.

[@homebuiltshop]

I can't wait either. I was using my Skyscraper Radius sanding beam today on the fretboard.

[@paulwaldrop2262]

Looking great Jeff. Thanks so much for making that set into a guitar. It looks great and can't wait to hear it.

[@homebuiltshop]

Thanks Paul! This body is getting set aside so I can now work on the neck. I cant wait.
