All of my current guitars have wood binding. Wood binding can get nicked up a bit more easily but I prefer it to plastic. It’s so unfortunate that it seems that there has been no serious attempt to solve the issue for good.

The only guitar I've had that had the binding pull loose at the waist was my 1939 Epiphone Triumph. I thought I could cut it some slack after 70 years...
