Traditional rope binding is an option on Burgin weissenborn style guitars. This binding was common on European instruments in the 19th century and featured on many early acoustic lap steel instruments in the early 1900s. My rope binding is made from diagonally cut pieces of jarrah and maple and is glued to the front and back edges, the peghead and fretboard edges. It also features in the soundhole rosette.
