Reply to binding a 1953 Guild archtop
It looks like single ply white binding? Compared to the country gentleman it looks a lot less problematic. I’ve had good luck with polymer glue (Titebond III) and binding tape with dreadnaught shaped acoustics. The 1960’s Gretsch lacquer that I’ve seen is usually able to hold up to stewMac brown binding tape.
Either way scuff the binding…
