While the fretboards were bound using off-white Celluloid binding the body of a vintage LPs was bound using a product (then) named "Royalite", what is a product name now known as ABS and which was a quite new plastic in the 1950s´.

Color of neck and body binding were not the same, the body binding was a bit darker (cream).

The final binding width of a finished vintage 1959 LP was/is at thickest 1,75mm, mainly being around 1,5mm. Originally the raw body was bound with 2,0mm binding and the reduction occured from sanding the bound body woth a spindle sander.
For a vintage correct replica you need to start with an accordingly oversized body, that´s why most commercially offered templates will not work as they were set to the final dimensions (after sanding). If you are interested in slightly oversized templates - as we can get from SavantGuitars - ask for a custom order of these.

Most cream-bindings that are offered by luthier supplies are off vintage color (tending even to a pink or greenish hue) and/or are of bad quality (resulting in breakage when being bent in the horn section) we are glad to have found a very well fitting ABS material that bends even well at tight curves. This will help you doing the binding job without gaps at the critical positions.

Color looks vintage correct, being not too dark (or pink) but comes in eggshell-cream and oversized reg. width for trimming in your workshop.

NO color change at the tip of the horn as the result of the stretching when being bent around!

thickness: a bit above 2,0 milimeter (0.8")
width: 10,0mm (0.39")
length: strips are cut from sheets and length varies a bit, always good for 1 body + reserve

We do not marketing/hype this as "vintage-like Royalite" but sell this technically same stuff at a reasonable price.
