    Binding Repair for 1960's F30

    I apologize if this is elsewhere, my searching didn't yield the answer. I picked up a 1960's F30 with badly shrunken binding some years ago. I want to get the binding fixed and gift it to my older son. He loves this guitar. I sort of recall a person in Florida (?) being recommended, but that is...

    I know my Orpf's builder and birthday - cool...

    Looks like Jason McIntyre (?) Built my 12-Fret Orpf on Jan 29th 2014. Or is that when the top was finished? Cool either way. Birthday coming up. Anyone know more about Jason?

    NG-f-LTGM-D** Today my new-to-me 12/fret Orpheum OM in rosewood arrived. Thanks Neal for a perfect transaction at a fair price. Only two pictures for now as I was heading to the airport when it arrived... I had about 10 minutes of strumming before putting it back in the case and closing the...

    OK... what is this eBay auction? "Orpheum by Guild?"

    Came across this eBay auction in my search for Orpheum's. I am guessing the experts here will know, but caught me off-guard. Made in Tacoma. Is this GAD before GAD? Click here for eBay auction: Orpheum, Guild Pre-Fender? Ralf?

    Standard Retail Markups on Guitars? Guilds?

    Anyone here have a sense what the standard markup is on guitars? I know standard markups vary greatly by category. For example, the markup on nice bikes is not very much and pricing is very competitive. On the other hand perfumes are 3x retailer's cost. Anyone know the range of discount to 'the...

    Title says all. Ideal is the slot-head orchestra, open to other 12-fret models. Natural or Burst is fine. Who's selling?

    Tuners & Pots

    I ended up with a "bulk buy" from a ex-guild employee doing closet cleaning. This stuff seems unused, but not really NOS. I am guessing maybe 'take offs' or leftovers. The tuner gears are all clean and new looking, turn nicely, etc. I don't have prices figured out yet, but I wanted to get this...

    Tuners, Headstock and other Cool Bits -- NSD?

    New Stuff Day? I saw a CL ad for a Guild headstock blank, which I thought would be cool for one of my snotless projects. I asked the seller "what else do you have?". Turns out I was able to get a bulk deal for: (1) a bunch of tuners, (2) headstock blank, (3) pickguard blank, (4) board radius...

    Snotless #3 joins the land of broken toys...

    It's like adopting 3-legged dogs and blind cats... I can't seem to help myself... but this is the last one. This guitar is a bit of the opposite of the F20... Top is weathered and aged, but very much intact. Had a Richie Havens style pick guard. It looks like original pattern on the top, but...

    NGD! 1958 Ghost Label F-20

    Just worked out a deal on a 'lost-in-the-closet-for-30+ years' F-20. Has binding issues, action looks a bit high, but otherwise in lightly used condition at a nice private party sale price. Should arrive middle of next week. Look at the 'Ghost' label:

    Loose bindings - how hard/difficult to fix?

    I am looking at an early 60's F-20. The binding above/below the sound hole have lifted off/shrunken. How do you re-bind them. Do you heat, press and glue? I am guessing if possible you want to keep the original authentic bindings.
