Hello I'm hoping to do a good friend of mine a good deed by doing some repairs to his newly acquired 1975 F50 (it's same timeframe as Elvis's F50 and serial number less than 500 away) so it would be amazing to help him out and do the repairs and restoration as close to original as possible.
Mostly it's the binding down along the neck that has aged, cracked and broken off in places. There is damaged to the top but I'm thinking I'll leave that as it's part of the guitars history and only noticeable up close.
Appreciate any help - ideally some old aged binding with the correct markings - see photos attached. I'm also a little concerned the guitar might have been refinished at some point but I could be wrong - I've just not seen another one this dark colour but to be honest the aging in the paint does appear genuine?
Thanks and thank's to the people at Guild for pointing me you all here.
Happy New Guild Year.
Enda
