I received some snakewood bindings today from BobC, which I'm intending to use on a guitar thats already ready to be bound. I'm quite happy with what he sent. I asked for a set that was somewhat light in color, but with as much figure as possible (because they tend to darken or get lost under french polish for me slightly, not enough contrast), and he picked me out a great set.

The quality is comparable or better to what I've gotten from Allied, and significantly better than from LMI.

Now.. can't wait to use them!

Regards,
Joshua French

I Have been waiting for my BOBC order for over two weeks.But I am sure when it arrives the snakewood will be better than I have ever seen before because that's just how it is with bob....always spectacular!
