1967 Baldwin Virginian Acoustic Electric

Before

After

This guitar needed a great deal of work to bring it back as a playable instrument. First of all, the plywood back of the guitar had become totally delaminated and a brand new Brazilian mahogany back needed to be installed. The back binding also had to be replaced. The sides were repaired and painted a dark brown and the complete back and sides were finished in nitrocellulose lacquer. The old tremolo was replaced with a modern fixed bridge that had to be customized to fit the body. All the electronics were removed, repaired and re-installed. This old beauty now sings better than ever.
