80’s Silverburst (Disturbing Content - Viewer Discretion Advised)
Am using lockdown to import a bunch of historical photos, and came across these…..
Acquired in 2007 from USA. Victim of Hurricane Katrina (from memory). My question of “is the neck stable” went un-answered….as it turns out, that was the least of this poor bugger's problems......

Suspense for the "after" shots is killing me.

One third of the top literally fell off, and the rest was on its way, so off it came. Note the veneer between body and top - common on Norlins.

In the spirit of, 'Just when you thought things couldn't get worse.'
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Finish was literally jumping off the guitar, so decided to brush off whatever wasn't sticking - I think I used a paint brush.....
Veneer had to go as well.

Great post, always good to see the guts of so called superb craftmanship...
Interesting to see how small the neck pocket is!
And also, this clearly shows that maple does shrink when the conditions are right

When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

This thread reminded me of this pic from Gibson's Nashville flood.
