What It Is / How It Works

This is a guitar binding purfling strip, a long narrow piece of ABS and celluloid used to trim the edges of a guitar body or fingerboard. It comes as a single strip measuring about 1600 mm long, 6 mm wide, and 1.5 mm thick, and is available in a range of colors for decorative binding work.

Who It's For / Use Cases

Guitar binding strips suit luthiers and guitar builders who want to add a decorative edge to an acoustic or classical guitar. They are also useful for repair work where an existing binding needs to be replaced or matched. The range of colors lets a builder coordinate the binding with the rest of the instrument's finish.

How to Use / Care

1. Measure the binding channel on the guitar body or fingerboard and cut the strip to the needed length.
2. Fit the strip into the channel and secure it using your usual binding method.
3. Trim and sand the strip flush with the surrounding wood once it is in place.
4. Wipe the finished binding clean and store any leftover strip flat for future use.

How to Choose

Check the width and thickness of the binding channel on your guitar before ordering, and compare it with the 6 mm width and 1.5 mm thickness of this strip. Confirm the length you need against the about 1600 mm strip length. Pick a color that matches or contrasts with the guitar's existing trim, and note that the strip is made from ABS and celluloid.
