I haven't been thinking at all about the neck binding actually. Hehe. Very open to suggestions. Whatever might look good with an ebony fretboard.
The guard is the the one thing I have heaps of trouble deciding upon. I have a few ideas in mind. Thinking about tortoise. But I'm embarrassingly picky with those!
If it looks too bright/red, it's just not for me. Nothing brighter/more reddish-brown than this:
I really dig this one.

Talk to Oigun about options in tort. He has a source for NOS tort I believe. I need some for my LP Jr, so we might be able combine shipping.

My thoughts exactly. If Oi can find some that is dark enough, I think tort might just be the way to go!

Looking for something like the one I posted in the picture above.
Dark tortoise. I don't know if the one in your link is dark enough for my picky taste.

Re: Here's Johnny's!
I would suggest contacting Stewart-MacDonald directly and ask them if they have sheets that are darker than average.
