A beautiful, Custom Shop Martin D-28 on the bench today for a massive binding repair, setup, and some fretwork. I’ve done hundreds of binding repairs over the years, and this is definitely the worst one I’ve ever had to deal with. It’s separated in multiple spots, with some areas coming apart in multiple layers, and it’s going to be sketchy, even with the appropriate amount of heat applied because the wood has shrunk so much. Let’s get the heat gun, binding glue, and binding tape, and get to work!
