Mixing and Matching Guitar Binding Woods: Rosewood, Ebony, Koa, and Maple
At Pacific Rim Tonewoods, based in Concrete, WA, we believe that guitar building is both a craft and an art — and nothing showcases that artistry like thoughtful choices in guitar binding. Combining different wood bindings such as rosewood, ebony, koa, and maple allows builders to create instruments that are visually unique, structurally sound, and full of personality. If you’re crafting a custom guitar binding, learning how to mix and match bindings can elevate your design from excellent to extraordinary.
