Wondering if anyone has information about this.... Most that I see online for sale and in pictures show these early year's models with an unbound fretboard, however there are pictures of Howard's personal guitar as well as Alex Lifeson's HRF that he bought before the Moving Pictures tour in 1981 "WITH" bound fretboards. I could understand if both of them had specially made guitars but I have never read interviews with either that say they had specially ordered/made models for them. Anyone have insight to this? Are there production models from those years with bound fretboards? I'd love to know and I'd love to have one with a bound fretboard if they're out there!
