Channel: Paul Mero Junkpile Guitars
Date: 2022-03-31

WARNING: NOT FOR THE PURIST!  Dental floss, guitar string winches, cleats, splits, tin can bandages and chickflikteal screws all come into play on this fireplace bound 1940 "The Prep"  Harmony-made archtop guitar.  Bulging sides, twisted tail blocks and half inch splits and running cracks-this one has it all.  This episode will give you a look at what it took a century ago to rescue a trashcan guitar with whatever you had laying around.
