Members Sangemon Posted May 5, 2011 Members Share Posted May 5, 2011 It will be interesting to see at what price this sells. It looks nice. I'm curious about "to give the restoration some legs the inside of the sides were lined with a thin veneer of mahogany to reinforce the repairs and to help prevent future problems". This seems unusual. I've read about cleating cracks, but lining the sides completely with an interior veneer is not something I've ever seen before.

Members gitnoob Posted May 5, 2011 Members Share Posted May 5, 2011 I think it's probably mahogany rather than koa, and I think people pay waaaay to much for the blingy parlors. That one is probably ladder braced, and the small-body Martins of that period sound much better. Case in point for the high-price of bling here:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230613729126&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_808wt_1139 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems unusual. I've read about cleating cracks, but lining the sides completely with an interior veneer is not something I've ever seen before. I have seen veneers (patches feathered into the back of a top) laid in under cave ins, and I have seen veneers put in instruments that were really dried out with loads of cracks and done it myself. I have had old instruments come in that had pieces of interior back strip spruce under cracks and it just led to more cracks. Sometimes if the thing was fixed improperly and you want to salvage it regardless of tone and just go for cosmetics, yeah its done. In 30 years the mahogany will open up nicely. Too bad I will be dead or too old to care. The humidity here was 2% yesterday. Bad for guitars, but good for repair business. I run my old funky belt humidifier from years ago. It throws arcs from the motor to the frame but keeps a nice 45% RH in the shop/house. I hate Arizona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Queequeg Posted May 6, 2011 Members Share Posted May 6, 2011 Double tops and double backs are becoming popular. So why not double sides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
