I am getting ready to do the binding on the peghead. (F5)
This is probably a stupid question, because I know it is opinion, however... My last mandolin I used the Ivoroid/Black/Ivoroid, looking at the peghead photos in the "photo" catagory I notice the older Gibsons had just plain Ivory binding.
Is there any proper etiquette for the headstock binding, depending on the body binding?
My body is I/B/I and I laminated a black line on the neck binding, so I feel I should continue with the black line on the headstock, but holding the two bindings up the the peghead I like the plain Ivory better. So any opinions on the etiquette of this, or is it "anything goes" thanks JD
