I have a soft spot for burst guitars and this one is indeed and good one!

The binding is perfectly matched. That is a jewel.
I would never guess the binding was new. What a great job! Wait, I think the TRC is upside down. Fire your luthier!

I knew somebody would let me know if that was upside down! Thanks for the heads up. I thought he did a great job also.

The name of the luthier that completed the work is KT Vandyke and his shop is called Frog Level Guitars in Abingdon, VA.

All around beautiful, and I love the grain on that bridge.

Lovely.. It's nice to know you can do this yourself if your luthier is not available and you are in a "BIND"... Looks great!!!

Love this!!! My brother!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.

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..!
