I decided to go for a double binding and routed a 6mm recess around the top.
A quick review of the binding on the body.

I also rounded over the back, I only have a 12mm roundover, I backed this off a bit to give a 'line' on the back.

this is where I made a mistake. I rounded up and around the back of the neck pocket, meaning the screws into the neck will be close to the edge.

the guitar is really heavy, just under 11lbs. If I go with option B scratch plate I could route out some material to lighten it up a bit.
If you really really want to fix it then you could route a few mm off the back (or put it through a planer!) Then route alot out from both sides and the bottom like a duo jet and the cap the back with a 5mm piece.

A larger rear route is something I didn’t really think of.
As a lover of beautiful wood I wouldn't go with a scratchplate but that's just my opinion.
