Been meaning to do this for a while now but have only just grown balls big enough to tackle it.I love my LPJ but the lack of binding on it always bugged me so I thought I'd give the old faux binding a go.This may be of interest to
@underdog :-)This is what it looked like before work started.
I first started out by masking the mahogany back off with thick electric tape and started gently sanding with a course paper and working down yo a mega smooth one.
And the finished product.You may not see on the pictures but I slightly rolled the edges too to make it look a bit more authentic rather than having a sharp edge.Turned out pretty we'll I think.I may just give it a light coat of satin varnish to protect the finish.
Finished product.
Laugh, love, live, learn.

Then it's the biggy.Full rewire and pickup replacement,by which time my sack should be just about ready to explode.
A mid sheen would look lovely, that's what I got planned for mine (in the end).
Can't do any harm I suppose.Where it's gone shiny it looks quite good so I'd be.looking to match that sheen.
Thanks @DannyP
Good work!

Fixed for you.
It's a 2013 model so thankfully free of such frivolities.
