Gibson Les Paul Custom
The newly designed Les Paul Recording guitar was released in 1971, in many ways as an updated version of the Les Paul Professional that had debuted two years earlier in 1969. The new guitar came with a new owners manual explaining the (somewhat complicated) controls, their operation, and giving other specifications, including recommended. A common area to see binding cracks is at the end of the frets. When fingerboards shrink due to dryness the frets may extend past the edge of the shrunken fingerboard placing pressure on the binding. This results in fine line cracks at the ends of the frets. Repairing Loose Binding. Because it's so new, there's a good chance it could be covered under Gibson's warranty, especially if it's cracked underneath the nitro and clearly has no signs of trauma (ie: accidently dropping). I would call gibson (800-4gibson). I have a 96 Les Paul standard where the frets do NOT go over the binding, just like the top picture. But I was in GC last night and on the new LPs the frets definitely extend clear to the edge of the neck. Let me tell you, having the short frets with the gaps over the binding is a real problem as you can easily pull your string off the fret. Gibson Les Paul Cracked Binding My brand new Les Paul Traditional Plus has the finish cracked ever so slightly in the binding around the side dot markers. It is only slightly cracked, and is not the. Both have neck binding but my Les Paul has the fret end 'nibs' on the binding, like yours, and my Washburn has the fret ends overlapping the neck.

Hoping someone can give me advice.
My midnight tele fell about 2 feet and the binding cracked. It's on the back so I don't really care about cosmetics, all I want is to slap something on so the binding wont crack even worse.
Ordered this satellite glue and some tips.
Will this or should this work?
Also, should I smear this on and razor blade any extra glue?
Don't mind ugly, just trying to avoid 'a 3 year old could have done a nicer job'
