1961 Martin OO-18G [3.2 lbs] :: clean up & bridge reglue

View fullsize

This vintage Martin was picked up this morning after having it's bridge reglued, a couple loose back brace ends secured and an overall cleaning.  The owner's mother purchased this guitar for her brand new in 1961 for $160!  After 55 years together, she is looking to sell it so please feel free to contact me if you are interested.

Bridge reglue :: 1961 Martin OO-18G

View fullsize

A vintage Martin classical came in with it's bridge removed.  I cleaned up the mating surfaces, made a few custom clamping cauls (one internal, three external) and reglued the bridge with hot hide glue.
