Yes unless you have a suggestion other than binding. :thu:

I strongly believe in binding, particularly when you have pretty wood like that. A lot depends on how you plan to finish it, of course. As much as I don't like plastic binding, it seems to look "correct" on a Gibbie clone and its much easier to deal with if you are going to do color or a 'burst or something. Since this obviously isn't a Gibson I would be very tempted to bind it in a contrasting wood - maybe something that carries thru to the rest of the guitar. This was a flamed Spanish cedar guitar that I bound in rosewood - the f/b, rings, knobs, etc were all rose. I also did a headplate out of the same cedar and bound it in rose to match.

You could also do the PRS trick and finish the edge to look like binding but that requires a lot of finish skill.

I'll enjoy watching your progress
