Gibson 1930's era L00
Posted: Sat Jun 01, 2024 9:08 am
I had 2 30's era L00s in the shop so I documented the bracing . A video is also in the works
The braces are so light and the best I can determine is the braces are almost all .250 by 1/2 in high but taper from the .250 to thinner as they were radiused.
all top braces are radiused to about a 25 to 30 ft radius. I am sure that 100 years of stress it may not be possible to know 100% for sure what there were.
I have had 3 individual pieces in my shop and while there was some variation , I attribute that to being hand made.
I am also making a tracing to follow this post shortly
