1934 Gibson L-00 repair

Post by ruby@magpage.com »

Hey all:

I posted the first half of this about 8 weeks ago. Just getting back to it and have added some steps. My daughter Mamie and John Hall have been instrumental in this repair. John - thanks for the idea of laminating the area of the top below the bridge.

As usual with Flickr, hold your mouse on the text below the title and you will see any description that is there. Then click on any picture to start the sequence from that point.

First look at the damage and I wondered how on earth you were going to repair it, but the repairs are going very well!

I like the adaptation to the old weller soldering gun. Can't wait for the final revue. Keep them coming. Nice repair and picture details
