Is that missing kerfing on the right side there?
Great thread, and thanks for sharing!!
So, the guitar has been completely taken apart, at this point. Here's some parts:
For scraping the neck, do you use scrapers radiused to accommodate Guild necks? I use razor blade scrapers on flat surfaces, but of course you can't use them on rounded surfaces. (Or, I can't anyway!)
Very cool Tom. Another interesting thing about this picture is how much darker the binding appears under the yellowed nitrocellulose lacquer. When I was talking in another thread about how the new emerald green Starfires aren't really the right color, the yellowing of the NCL over time explains a lot of the disparity. And this F512 is about the same age as Greenie.
Does one have to worry about the pickguard shrinking and or warping a bit once the pickguard has been removed from the top after all these years?
Tommy
True enough Sandy! That is why it is so difficult to touch up vintage guitars and get a good color match.
Tommy,
usually if the pickguard is not warping already....
Part I and part II joined into one thread. Image restriction is per-post, not per-thread (I think). Tom, Dave, let me know if you have any trouble adding to this thread.
p.s./ progress looks awesome, guys!
