I have both those wrap finishes you mention: P24 in Black Gold Wrap (my current avatar photo), and a Brazzy Soapie McKorina in Sapphire Smoke Burst wrap. Now that McKorina doesn't have a maple top, so the wrap is a logical thing. But it looks awesome! It is my understanding the black gold finish makes the natural binding a lot more of a job, because the black is really hard to scrape out/off, so PRS really prefers to go with the wrap, generally.Hmmm...I was thinking about this the other day, and it seemed like the overwhelming majority preferred the natural edge. Looking at how the votes stand as of now, it still seems to be the case.
I like both, really. All of my guitars have the natural binding but I absolutely would not mind having a wrap finish of some sort added to the collection. As others have mentioned, Black Gold Burst looks great with a wrap finish. Back when PRS did Sapphire Smoke Burst, that looked good with a wrap finish, too.
I will say, I prefer natural backs on my guitars, so sometimes a wrap burst doesn't quite jive with a natural back....just kinda depends on the finish, I suppose.
Nonetheless, I generally prefer the natural scraped binding.
