Binding repair on a '55 Gretsch Roundup
Issue 188 April 11, 2013
A truss rod fix leads to a binding repair: Dan Erlewine has to remove the fingerboard from this great old cowboy guitar, and some of the red side dots disappear. He shows two techniques for replacing them.
- 1955 Gretsch Roundup with tooled leather accents
- Heating and stretching old binding
- Working clean with messy hide glue
- Hot Tip! The red artist's pencil
- Mixing color into epoxy: a little goes a long way!
