What does Rickenbacker call this black over white binding?

That is your basic laminated binding. Standard stuff from most lutherie supply catalogs. Rickenbacker originally used it as the outer ply on the 4002. It was occasionally used on production basses like the one above.

Sounds like you've come up with the perfect name.

I don't know what anyone else calls it, but I call it beautiful! I think I like that better than checkerboard binding, maybe...

BLASPHEMY!!
. . . just kidding. I think it looks sharp on a blacked out bass such as the above.

"Pinstripe" is what I've always heard it called, not that it comes up often...

Thanks guys.
I guess I'll have to polish it up and post some pics.

It does stand out more on the lighter finishes.

That's the first time I've realized that the white was a pinstrip on black binding. I previously thought it was just reflection in the photo from a light source.
