Neck binding on Prestige S guitars?

[Myst and rain]

Hi,

I was wondering what material is used for the neck binding of the Prestige S guitars? Any help would be appreciated.



Kind regards,

looks like plastic to me

Thanks, MattyCakes.

Plastic would be most likely, yeah. By the way, I was thinking it might have been ivory, but I just read that that is no longer used. I didn't know ivory was banned.

Anyway, thanks again.

yup ivory a no go unless you can catch moby himself

plus i originally said plastic because i saw a video once of the hamer custom shop blow drying their binding to make it fit perfectly

they use plactic so it can flex with the neck as it bows with the strings - you can get pearl effect plastic too for example which looks great.

Well, that great news, then. Thanks for the replies!
