Gibson LG

1947 Gibson LG

The next series of photographs chart the progress of a new top on a 1947 Gibson LG. The first photograph shows the failed bridge plate – the cause of the top lifting along with age and failed bracing joints. Firstly the neck is steamed off, a new top is fashioned and braced, the top is fitted, bound and sprayed, a new bridge is fitted. The final job sounded nice with it”s new Adirondack Spruce top!
