BCR Greg Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Jon has the earliest Classic I have seen, and it fell. So I get to put it back. Here's a few shots of the work....How it arrived(by courier)...Broked up bad...After hours of fiber clearing, coffee drinking and careful refitting...the hot hide glue and clamps come into play....Not strong enough, time for the routing. By hand. With a Dremel.

serial Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Meh. Kind of a yawn, actually. Want to be impressed, take a look at the 'Before' to this little gem on the right... Sorry, that baby-assed crack on that gold Les Paul ain't nothing.
