This one had been beat up, most of the finish was missing, and the bridge was virtually destroyed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614b75dbd16d4154b6cd1b63/89632673-ebf2-44d9-830a-2d195d4e9a73/Lindbergh4.png Repairs You can see the fretboard is worse for wear. It almost disintegrated when I took it off. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614b75dbd16d4154b6cd1b63/36b1f79a-946d-4543-af8b-c99f9c949236/lindbergh+1.png Repairs This is after removing the loose neck, and the rest of the finish. Time for a total refinish! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614b75dbd16d4154b6cd1b63/925a6b70-0aee-481e-a426-ca9424a1a54c/Lindbergh3.png Repairs Here you can see the new bridge, it looks more like a plane and provides more strength for the top. As well it has all new finish! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614b75dbd16d4154b6cd1b63/aa70d476-55d1-4574-9b70-fc661b9dc26a/lindbergh5.png Repairs All strung up and ready to be played! It has a new fretboard, and all new inlay, but it's made just like the original. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614b75dbd16d4154b6cd1b63/1636302180708-2F00DYLUZ1HBD8FPKILZ/J501.jpg Repairs This 1953 Gibson J185 had some serious internal problems, lots of loose bracing, and a few less than professional fixes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614b75dbd16d4154b6cd1b63/fc856519-4410-4efa-b4cb-ce3e78c7a0bc/j503.png Repairs Here you can see through the sound hole, and spot the yard stick glued to the back as extra bracing. Along with the yard stick most of a bottle of glue was built up around it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614b75dbd16d4154b6cd1b63/e8b603ba-9884-4d53-b067-bceefb4e4c67/j504.png Repairs To take the back off, I had to carefully remove the binding by lightly scoring around the seam with a Xacto knife. A time consuming procedure, but it allows the biding to be reattached just as it came off. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614b75dbd16d4154b6cd1b63/587a8756-38f7-438f-a1fe-0969ff9b5409/J502.png Repairs Here's a closer look at the inside of the back, all the extra glue had to be removed, along with the yard stick. https://www.mills-guitars.com/contact-us daily 0.75 2023-08-04 https://www.mills-guitars.com/galdsc daily 0.75 2022-05-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614b75dbd16d4154b6cd1b63/1e2dbc5c-97d9-47e4-8044-1a64c2864b81/pg1.png Guild of American Luthiers Data Sheet - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614b75dbd16d4154b6cd1b63/c4ddc552-064c-4572-b9c1-78e75f5be956/pg2.png Guild of American Luthiers Data Sheet - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/614b75dbd16d4154b6cd1b63/7d368394-fd13-488b-87bb-4e9eb148c9bf/Cover.png Guild of American Luthiers Data Sheet - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
