Location: Chicago area | Well, I have been blessed again with God's grace. Just last weekend, I was thinking that we really could use a 12 string guitar for use in our worship band (expecially when we don't have our keyboard player/music director with us) in order to provide a bigger sound with a few acoustic guitars). We don't have any budget to purchase, and I would not buy one only for that reason. Then yesterday, I see a posting (on another forum) "Free to good home". Yep, you guessed it a 1980something Glen Campbell 12 string free to good home (incl. orig case). She needs some repair as it was not properly humidified, and lost some neck binding. I should have pics soon and will pick her up on Wednesday. Thanks to the generousity of this person, our church will certainly benefit this donation.
So, if anyone has suggestions on how to "rehumidify" a guitar...I would greatly appreciate it. I know Bob Taylor has an online video demonstrating bringing back to life a very abused Taylor with nothing more than damp-its, H2O, case, and a lot of patience.
I will post pics when I get them....but looking for any input and suggestions from those who have revived older "O"s.
thanks in advance!

Just like the Taylor vid... I healed a Hirade in this fashion. |
