A meaningless ? Why such wide binding

Seems to take away from the asthetics?

The binding on my H140 is about 1/16 of an inch.   My 535 is slightly thicker than the 140.

I think I remember Heritage buying 90 thousandths binding, but then after painting,  all binding is hand scraped, so it will be somewhat thinner than that.  You might lose 1/4 of that original .090.   Of course the hand scraping won't be absolutely consistent,  the thickness will vary depending on how much has to be removed to get a clean surface.  

I don't see anything unusual at all about that one.

Thanks for responding.  I'm kinda stuoid and don't understand this tech stuff.  Just wondered why the binding is so friggin' thick.  Again, a meaningless question.They build quality guitars.  I don't.
