Pat James on 02/24/2012	It's easier (cheaper) for mfg's to bind fretboards so the seam between the ebony (etc.) and maple don't require so much hand work. That's what I've always thought. Bound or not.....who CARES?? Unless you do your own refretting.
Jon Fine on 02/24/2012	There's a real good reason to have the frets over the binding--if it ever needs a refret, the binding doesn't have to be removed. That Jag looks great--seems to sound good too, although I'd have liked to have heard the bridge pickup and the neck-and-bridge combination too. That Burgundy Mist is probably my favorite Fender custom color, and with the block inlays and bound neck--cool! I'm not normally a big fan of Jaguars, but I like that one! No mute either--good call, Fender!
TheGuitarCza r on 02/23/2012	Why bother binding a fretboard in the fret ends are exposed? There is no ADVANTAGE save visual -if that's an advantage! People that gravitate toward bound necks usually do so because of the way it FEELS. It makes position changes more seamless.
