Hi All,
Firstly apologies for not being so involved lately.
As most know I sold my place and along with it went the upstairs woodshop. Some also know that I have been learning to play Guitar.So, this Guitar I found in a furniture rubbish pile on the street in Hong Kong, the Guitar was within seconds of being loaded into a Furniture Rubbish removal truck.I, fortunately, rescued it and took it home for refurbishment.The most significant things about this project are:
A) I found this Guitar, I did not buy it, It was someone elses Rubbish
B) I had to set up a makeshift Luthiers workshop in my bedroom on the 10th floor Hong Kong flat
C) With the back of the guitar delamination I developed an idea to connect a straw to a syringe so I could inject glue down deep into the back of the guitar without making the delamination worse.(see pics)I made a you tube video on the restoration, if you have a spare three minutes and are interested click
here for the YouTube link.The youtube video link also here,
