We've been fortunate enough to get our hands on a supply of the checkerboard binding just like that used on Rickenbacker's deluxe guitars, the sparkle Telecasters, and the old Kay guitars. It's brand new and it's in great condition.  This is not some cheap binding that is "close" to the original appearance. It's not black lines painted on white stock. This is made just like the original binding, with alternating layers of solid black and solid white.
 
Each piece measures .066" x .215" x 53" (1.7mm x 5.4mm x 1345mm).  To calculate how much you'll need:
