Vintage Tortoise Shell Binding for a 1976 Gibson J-45

[Jeff Perkins]

Any one know where to get some of this original stuff. I don't want to replace it all with plastic, obviously. Every little piece of the original is damaged, crushed and delapidating. He wants me to fully restore it. I saw some on ebay in a strip for $150. Any suggestions would be helpful. I won't have the guitar till June. I'll post pics then.

Jim,

I am new to this forum so I am still trying to learn the rules.  Not sure if you will get this.  Do you have any of theover size binding left?  I need about 36 inches of it if you do.  Will also repost this at a new date.

Thanks

Dale

Hi Jim,...  I found this post searching for binding for my 1973 Gibson J55.  As bindings go, mine is thick as you mention in the post.  If it matches, I could really use some.  Please let me know if your interested in selling part of what you have left.  Thanks!

Hi Dale,... I also am in need of some of Jims vintage style binding for a 73 Gibson J55.   Have you heard anything from him about this or anything else?  I myself, have not.   Thanks!   pete...
