Would it be difficult to add bindings to a completed instrument that is finished with Tru-oil? I was just wondering if it would ruin the finish completely or if it could be touched up and still look good.

Thanks

Yes. in repair we often have to replace a top or back and that wiil require binding repair or replacement.

This is a quick an simple answer to a long and drawn out task if the bindings are wood and the guitar is top purffed. but it can be done and is a straight forward procedure.MichaelP38756.6925578704
