Quick question for you guys:

how wide do you leave your fingerboard binding (assuming you use any)? Same as on the body (ie, around the .080-.075" mark for me, 2mm pre-scrape), or a little slimmer (0.060" - 1.5mm)? And the headstock?

I leave all my bindings (body, fingerboard and headstock) at roughly .080. Here's a good link for binding headstocks.

Bob, thanks for the link to that discussion; I'd forgotten about that one! I've yet to try any purfling lines below my headstock binding, but that's filed away for reference when I do (maybe on this guitar...not sure yet.
