Gibson Les Paul Cracked Finish

суббота 25 апреля

1958 Flying Vee Broken Neck Joint Repair

The new Les Paul Standard returns to the classic design that made it relevant, played and loved - shaping sound across generations and genres of music. It pays tribute to Gibson's Golden Era of innovation and brings authenticity back to life. The Les Paul Standard 50's has a solid mahogany body with a maple top, a rounded 50's-style mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard.

When this job is done it will be absolutely impossible to tell it was ever repaired.

WHY DO VINTAGE GUITAR DEALERS HATE ME ???

Because I break the rules and tell people what the real dangers of buying a vintage guitar is.

I am taking food from their mouth's therefore I am the bad guy.

Vintage guitar magazine could and should do a story like this but it would hurt every one of their advertisers.

READ THIS WHOLE ARTICLE ESPECIALLY THE END

Close up & personal. (written 2002)
Neck joint is cracked on both sides of the neck.
These are not finish cracks. They are cracks right in the wood. Very common on these guitars. Imagine buying one and then having this happen all by itself.

As you can see the Korina Wood is split right at the neck joint. The finish is cracked also but that would not be a sufficient reason to restore this guitar.

This is an extremely pricey instrument when there are no major problems like a broken neck joint. This type of job requires great skill and very few people are qualified to do a repair like this one. I suggest that if you need a repair job like this one done that you send it to me.

If you do send me a repair, try to send it as soon as it breaks. Waiting will cause more problems with expansion and contraction. Also, don't let some idiot hack do a temporary repair until you feel you can send it to me. 99% of the time it will be much harder to repair after some moron has gone in and tried to fix it half ass.

These cracks reduced the value of this guitar by $50,000.00 fifty thousand dollars. these guitars got horrifically overpriced in the late 90's. This spawned numerous counterfeiters in 10 different countries that were making them from scratch. Some of the counterfeits are so good that I cannot tell them from original.

There are people that brag that they can tell an original from a counterfeit. usually these guys are vintage dealers. I DON'T BELIEVE THEY CAN TELL. maybe when the first counterfeits started appearing in the mid 90's you could tell but today it is impossible.

All the possible mistakes that the first counterfeiters made are all fixed now. You can buy dated pots, all the parts are pretty much generic and even if they weren't generic the selling price which got as high as $175,000.00.
I personally know 15 people that are fully capable of producing an exact replica of any Vintage Les Paul, Flying Vee or Explorer. In the case of a solid body electric guitar it's almost too easy. Hollow body models like Byrdlands, 335's etc are harder but still very possible to do.

SO MAKE DAMN SURE YOU KNOW THE FULL LINEAGE OF ANY VINTAGE INSTRUMENT YOU BUY. UNLESS OF COURSE YOU BUY IT FOR $250.00 AT A YARD SALE !!! That is the only sure fire way to know it's real.
