Gibson Archtop Restoration by Ged Green

Gibson L50? restoration project, guitar is dismantled ready for new sides to be made and reassembled. If you want to see the completed guitar visit - This item is of interest to other luthiers who may be prepared to take on such a project - note the Gibson build sequence, the top went over the neck joint, then the fingerboard was glued on - not what I had expected as can be heard from the rather noisy crack as the neck finally comes out!
