Re: Gibson J45 top repair
Hey, nobody wants to hear stories about a pristine white top on a 70 year old instrument. As it is, just look at the interest generated here. "Honorable well earned patina" only happens to the strong, the survivors! If anything, I might opt for a repro tortoise guard w/ sparse coloring, to let the grain show thru.

For far too long, Gibson bounced between investors wth little clue about sound, but great faith in engineering. "We can build that guitar in 28 fewer steps than the last bunch of bozos did, AND have fewer warranty claims from their silly glue & woodworking."

Our mistakes weren't quite so easy to undo
But by all those roads, my friend, we've travelled down
I'm a better man for just the knowin' of you."
