I seem to recall a case of painted on "binding" being discussed a while back. Different guitar though, that one looked more like real binding than this...
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Looks like 3/16" wide pinstriping tape to me.

The top's not done because tape would not stick for long--it's a high-wear area.

That's why we use binding!

340 + 8 feet of vinyl tape = FAIL.
