I'm not ready to start doing binding on my build yet but I'm trying to start looking ahead. Maybe save some on shipping by making one big order. Anyway, I think I'm trying to do a top bound white - black - white pattern generally. Stew mac has some mandolin binding suggestions online. They look pretty good but I'd need to buy a whole bunch of different sizes and it is all ABS. not sure if I need all of the different sizes. What binding sizes to people typically use?
Another question I have is where do you get the blocks for the point protectors and where can I get the piece for the 15th fret line thing? I haven't been able to find anything on those online and I'm worried it would be hard to find something that would match the binding well. I think it would be especially hard if I wanted to go with a cream or ivoroid or something that isn't pure white. I'm a little worried a "white" might be a bit too bold for my taste, but I'm not sure how white the white actually is.
