binding work can get very expensive. a cheaper alternative is using paint to make faux binding.

I don't think that is a good idea. paint would definitely be thinner compared to tape and there is a chance that lacquer doesn't stick onto the tape.

Yeah use paint and masking tape to make faux binding.

Guitar Workshop @ Bras Basah is crap. Go for Malcolm Tan.

That's not a very nice thing to say. Do you have any pictures to prove so? You might land up in hot soup without the proper evidence to support your claim.

Why is that so?

So far they provided me with such a great job. My Gibson studio strap pin broke and the screw stuck inside the body. They fixed it for without making any visible mark. They also fixed my problematic fernandes sustainer and did a total wiring overhaul. Sent some guitars for pickup swaps to them also. All jobs done perfectly and fast. Reasonably priced also

I think the people who seek help from forums have this tendency to follow blindly. it's best to see examples of what different repair shops can do.

I know for certain that Guitar Connection can do a good job. I've seen their repairs before & I'm confident in their abilities. Check the pricing with them.
