Question about custom bindings?
Ok, only those with taste need answer
 What kind of binding do you guys like on a cedar/EIRosewood guitar?...I'm struggling with this decision...I really like the look of rosewood bindings, like on a taylor 714ce...but something a bit more custom maybe?...i can't think of anything that would look cool on this wood combination....the usual suspects, koa, maple, might not look so good with that dark top?... whaddya think?

Bubinga - This is sitka (sorry no cedar) on EIR with bubinga bindings.
 More bubinga on EIR. I think bubinga looks great with EIR.  /a53/Slsaville/Cedar%20Walnut/DSC_0056.jpg[/IMG]

I like to look each individual piece of binding over before making a comment, but off the top of my head?
My choice would, maybe, be: #1) Bloodwood #2) Rosewood Not that "I" have taste :P
