Today I picked up a back and side set of Cocobolo. I am looking for ideas for a nice contrasting binding. Anyone have any good ideas or pics of guitars they have built using Cocobolo?

Thanks!

I have built 5 guitars from cocobolo and by far my favorite binding is ebony
Here is my most recent cocobolo guitar. (Lutz top) It is not really
contrasting but it goes great with the light colored top

Here is a pic of a coco side with ebony binding, with a WB furfling line in between.
I'm with Andy...I like the combination very much.

Brad,

You might consider Madagasgar RW. Here's a shot of an unfinished end wedge/binding on a cocobolo guitar.
