I occassionally need Tortise bindings on some of my electrics. I recently have got some very nice stock from Bill James @ Axiom, but I would also like some lighter colored stock as well.
I contacted John Greven today to see if he had any interest in producing bindings in his special Tor-Tis material. If you have never had any of this material it is FANTASTIC. I generally don't bind my acoustics in plastic, but this is very high end material.
The answer he gave me back was a "maybe". It sounds like if the buy is big enough it would off set the PITA it is to make these up.
I don't know if I alone need enough to get his attention, but perhaps if we structure a group buy it might work.
I don't know the cost at this point, or the exact specifications. Those are details that need to be worked out. But here is what I ** DO ** know. I like the color of the Medium Tortis material and the length would be 36"
If you have an interest (this isn't in any way a binding
committment... ) but just a level of interest query at the moment.
This may work out, it may go no where.... but I am curious to see what others think.
