1959 F30 Sunburst - New Binding

[Boneman]

Man that is fantastic! Looks like it aged well, has that early Epiphone influence in the lipstick headstock. (Though glad they changed it to differentiate from Gibson) and the binding work is spot on, major kudos!

Wow just beautiful and the ghost label

Wow. That IS beautiful. Seems like both you, and it, are again ready to add some more music to the universe. To me, guitars kinda connect one’s soul to the universe. And I think guitars have souls too! Best wishes to you..!

Here is a 1959 Sunburst F30 I own. All of the binding had shrunk and cracked off of the guitar. A luthier near Abingdon, VA rebound the guitar and even added some antiquing so the new binding did not look so stark. An amazing instrument. Light build and great tone.
