Hi All,

Does anyone have a source for the correct size of grained ivoroid neck binding for early '20s Vegas? I tried StewMac, LMI, Ebay, etc., and what I've seen is too wide. Even if I cut it lengthwise, it's still too thick (deep) and sticks out past the neck when butted to the fingerboard. Thanks.

Mike
