Well, this evening I scraped the bindings on the little 0-12. The body is all done, the neck is roughed out and will be my focus for the next week. I hope to have this one in finish with in the next two weeks.
The bindings are Brazilian rosewood with a b/w/b side purflings and the top has a Koa/b/w/b purfling scheme.
This is also the first guitar that I have used what I call petite binding on, They are .180 tall, instead of the .250 that I have always used. I think this will add a nice touch to my guitars.

Thanks for looking!

very nice Lance.. I've always used .190 binding and then add the purfling
and it equals about .250. I love the look and your guitar there is no
different!

Great looking little guitar - love the 12 fretters and as everyone has said very clean. I especially like the end wedge.

Thank'ee fellers!
I promise this is the last group of pictures of this one. ---------- Until the neck is done

Ron, Ill try to get a shot of the rosette, right now all I have are from a distance. That said, its not terribly distinct, its made form a deep chocolate brown Brazilian, so its basically looks like chocolate

Lance I was wondering, if you use a lower binding height don't you have to plan your bracing letin to be smaller as well so your brace ends won't show?

Larry, my bracing dont stick through the sides.. But yes, if they did, you would have to be aware of that.
