Equally remarkable is our figured maple binding, which bursts with wave, curl, and quilt. These bindings are harvested from the same highly figured billets we use in backs and sides, offering consistency and matching beauty. Figured maple binding catches finish beautifully—curling and glowing under gloss, adding sophistication to boutique builds. It is the final flourish on a guitar designed to inspire admiration and curiosity. Like all our bindings, figured maple is cut with the grain in mind, ensuring maximum workability and an uninterrupted visual flow. This allows for clean bends around tight waist curves and sharp cutaways, making it a favorite among custom builders and elite workshops.
Each strip of binding offered by Pacific Rim Tonewoods is crafted with the same care and expertise that we apply to our tonewood sets. We believe that great guitars are not just assembled—they are composed, note by note, detail by detail. Our binding woods are kiln-dried, matched for color and grain, and dimensioned for precision. Whether you choose rosewood binding for its classic warmth, ebony binding for its sharp elegance, koa binding for its vibrant personality, or maple binding for its clean brightness, you are selecting more than a product—you’re choosing a material partner in the creation of lasting music.
