A while back ago I asked about this. I have a RG550LTD with a bound neck. Someone had sanded the neck/binding, and it now felt funny, and looked funny. So I wanted to replace the binding without replacing the frets. But it didn't look like it could be done.
Well, I took an exacto knife and just cut into the binding, and it just started pulling away from the neck, nice and clean. So all I have to do is cut some binding to the same size as the old binding, glue it in and blend it in with the neck. I'm sure it won't be that easy, but it definitely looks possible.
So right now, the neck is just missing the top and bottom binding, but the frets are all there, and everything else is the same.
