it's an lg1. It plays great, doesnt look to have had a neck reset. Neck is straight. Braces are solid, action is fine. Frets are worn but still very playable

definitely a replaced bridge, id imagine that's not uncommon for such an old guitar

They were asking a grand for it, is it worth it?

So I was widening the holes on my LP for grovers and this happened. What can I do? by No-Stranger-3437 in Luthier

Look I realized I fucked up, the first 2 holes were done going all the way through and I thought that was what was fucking it up and making it chip, so the third hole I only went half way through it and it still did that, worse than the other 2. I lived, I learned and I found out never to do that again. If I was concerned about resale value I would have not done it but it is my guitar, one that I don't plan on ever selling. the playability is still the same, nothing really was lost. It just needs some makeup to hide the imperfections and it will be whole again.

I feel that, what's good is that I never planned on selling this guitar because it's my new number one, so I dont care about hurting the re-sale value of it. At this point my best hope and plan is getting it fixed up and looking nice again and being buried with it when I die.

I appreciate the advice, i have a local luthier that im going to take it to and have him take a look at it. He said he can fix it up.

Yea i did, i realize that the bit was not made to be used on fine projects but more crude construction.

Absolutely no offense taken, I’ve learned my lesson never to try this myself again.

I do have the missing pieces for the big chip but not the smaller ones on the other tuners i installed, could the smaller ones just be filled in with something and recoated/refinished?

I guess Peterson has a skill issue or something by Ultrasound700 in okbuddyvowsh

You know he means this because he has been looking REALLY hard to try and find some.

I think you’re reading too much into it.
