Ended up ordering the second tallest binding stewmac had... Didnt think double 1/2" les paul bindings would look right...LOL i believe its around 5/16-3/8" tall.... Also got a les paul style three way..... Gotta decide if i want to mount that like a les up on top, or down with the rest of the stuff.... Also, tuners came in today, along with my awesome knobs, and i should be getting the rest of the goodies very soon as well.... Shipping frok hongkong can take a few days...LOL :lol:
