Post subject: | Old Gibson archtop back brace reglue. |
Hey gang! Not a building question, but I know you all can help and I would very much appreciate it. I recently transported my 1950 Gibson ES-125 and it got knocked pretty hard on the back and every one of the 4 back braces is loose now. I don't have a soundhole to work through. Should I take this into a "pro"? Will they take the back off or is there a way to reglue and clamp thtough the F-holes? Could someone recommend a repair person in the southern Indiana area to help me with this if you don't think I can handle it. Thanks so much for your help. |

I have a "54 and a "67 es125 and neither of them have back braces, just a arched laminated back. Does the '50 have a flat back with braces? You may be able to get better access thought the pickup hole. |
