Top almost ready to attach to the rim. I bind the sound hole by sinking an extra thick piece of black binding deep into the top before it is sanded to final thickness, and before I cut out the sound hole. Then when I remove the sound hole, the binding is done. Works for me. This top is going on a nice set of Madagascar Rosewood.

1957 Gibson LG1, aka “Jack the Guitar”. First picture shows how it came in. Swipe to see how it turned out. Recently completed an extensive restoration including a new top, headstock repair, back brace removal and replacement, new tuners, fretboard resurfacing and new frets, new bridge and saddle, fresh finish, K&K pickup, and a new Gibson case. Got one that needs some love? Maybe I can help.
