Re: Recently Acquired old Gibson

Thanks for the guidance, everyone. I got a mirror in there last night. I was afraid I'd see a bunch of glue ooze on the bottom of that bridge pin, but it looks okay.

Guitars and Toddlers

I have 4 guitars sitting out on stands around the house, and my kid is about to start crawling. I'm worried both ...
