    You need a 30,20 and 10 year old apprentice because... What the hell would the world do without you ! Stay healthy, brother. I marvel at your patience and craftsmanship.

    Anyway I can speak with you I have a 1954 j45 needs some work it got passed down to me so it means a lot to me guess I'm saying just want to make sure that whoever works on knows what they're doing and looks like you do very good work

    I assume the tops have dropped a bit on these old guitars, requiring the wedge. Why couldn't you reinforce the area under the fb extension such that it's radius is re-established, supporting the FB extension?

    Is this a 49' or 69' J50 or J45? At the end you mentioned it was a 1969 J45?
