That's a great sounding guitar! What is the song you played in the video?
@rockereb4 күн бұрын
It's "I'm Thinking Tonight Of My Blue Eyes" by the first family of country music, The Carter Family. You may also recognise the melody from Grey Speckled Bird, Wild Side Of Life, and It Was Not God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels. Mother Maybelle Carter is about my favorite guitarist. Happy Thanksgiving!

Can't believe what a great job you did after stumbling upon the vid. These old guitars have a soul. I would have just presumed it was beyond hope. I have to ask the question, what would it be worth now? And what did you charge? None of my business, but still...

I have a Kay solidbody from 66 or 67, a sort of offset SG shape with a weird brown/gold burst and two "star stencil" pickups. I posted a video of it on my channel, disassembled so you can see the pickup wiring, trussrod adjustment and neck pocket. Mine has Kluson tuners and a weird badge/medallion.

That's just like my Japanese Silvertone, but it needs new tuners. A fun instrument with a nice p-90 pickup.

Hey Eb, that s a nice project! Do you have any drawings of the top bracing? I want to build a copy of an LG Guitar and measured the old LG0 from a frind of mine. But for my build I want to go for X bracing. If you have a plan or drawing with correct specs that you would like to sell I would be very happy :-)
@reverse.ferretАй бұрын
Very interested to see (and hear) how this turns out as I have an old LG1 myself. Will you be x-bracing it exactly as if it was an original 50s LG2? Adding a backstrip?

These borrow from the body shape of classical guitars, but they are built to handle steel string tension. Thank you!

I have a spray rig and have had great success with it, but I keep the Stewmac rattle can colors in stock so I can do quick touch ups or make new burst with little prep for jobs like this.

A lot of these Norlin era guitars have plywood bracing. I found a 1973 Gibson Gospel in a trash pile in an old lady’s living room. I gave her $20 for it. I paid my guitar shop to fix it and remove all funky parts with solid wood bridge and plywood under the saddle maple bridge plate and bone saddle and nut. The Gibson turned out fantastic sounding. It sounded very close to my Santa Cruz Brazilian Rosewood Dreadnought

the design on the headstock should lead to an answer to it's maker, though there's no guarantees but a gppd clue. perhaps?

Looks a lot like a Washburn Presentation circa 1920 that was featured in Guitar World magazine. It's so close, but not exactly the same. Absolutely stunning guitar whatever it turns out to be.

@tonydeaton1967Ай бұрын
@@shinethelight01 There was a maker in the 1840's, I think, who also made very similar gut-string instruments as well. Answers are there somewhere in the lineage. I think the name brand was DeLorca or DeLorne, something like that. Could be a one-off custom too. I knew an old gentleman in Austin, Texas who made stunning custom guitars in his garage shop.

Hey, could you answer me a question about this guitar please? I just got the same one off eBay and...I don't know if there's something wrong with the fret board or if the strings are just installed to closely to the board...but the strings get cut off at the end of the fretboard (near the middle of guitar, I mean) and so anything I play fret-wise isn't fretted, if that makes sense. You play a string and it doesn't make a the right note because it's fretted...by the end of the board sticking up too far (or the strings being too low because I realize this is called an archtop and so it's the first time I've had one, but I would think that has something to do with it.....)
