Unless you are replacing the binding, you will need to tape it off or scrape it.

i wouldnt know how to replace binding, would it be a bad idea to use a chemical stripper to remove the paint on the headstock?

Stripper will melt binding instantly, so bust out the sand paper.

Wrap some 180 around a flat block to remove the paint quickly, follow up with some 220.
