Wood & Wire Bacon Belmont

The faceplate is celluloid.
Some shrinking binding.
Body separation.
Glued and clamped.
Ric12 asked why binding needs to be scraped, this and the next image answer that.
The board was hacked up and frets were low so a little sanding, new binding and frets to follow.
New binding and ready for sealer.
Frets cut, seated and dressed.

Very cool guitar that the owner wanted the binding repaired in the bad areas, could be done but this guitar is way to cool for that.

Comments

  1. That is a cool guitar. The color/patina is beautiful.

    Is that two layer binding?

  2. On the top it’s two ply but single on the back.
