Handcrafting a Les Paul style guitar. Using my tool set, and from researching similar projects that people have posted about on the internet, this is my attempt at building my first guitar.

Figuring out how to route the binding

Some folks over at My Les Paul Forums - Custom Shop asked me how I was going to route the binding now that the top is carved. Good point!!

Anyway, I didn't route the binding first because I bought the wrong height binding, so I didn't want to get started on it, but went ahead with carving anyway.

Well, this jig is what I came up with. Its my router table plexiglass insert clamped to some boards. I'll clamp another standoff underneath the router to control the width of cut of the binding. Hope to get to this in a few days.
