FLATTENING A 57' GIBSON ES-225 PICK GUARD at JONAH GUITARS

Hi all, had a 57' Gibson ES-225 in the shop for a few odd jobs. One of which was flattening out the pick guard. Ended up putting it in the oven.

👍 Looks like that turned out pretty nice.

[@jonahguitarguy]

I'm pretty happy. Thanks Earl.

[@StealthGuitar-mk3el]

Pretty good save there, Dane!

[@jonahguitarguy]

Thanks Chaz, does anything ever go smoothly?

[@StealthGuitar-mk3el]

@@jonahguitarguy I know, right?

[@RandySchartiger]

wow! fooled me! I would have thought that would been a much easier job! looks great man!

[@jonahguitarguy]

Thanks Randy, I'm really glad it didn't just explode in my oven.

[@SkyscraperGuitars]

Great save! You had me nervous when the back caul came off... Was hoping it didn't delaminate.

[@jonahguitarguy]

Thanks Greg. I about crapped when saw that area on the caul. But everything is solid.

[@KL3NCH]

Neat job Dane, especially given it's a lamination with all that implies regarding static deflection. I reckon you could take on pretty much most things!

[@jonahguitarguy]

Thanks Steve. Could and should are vastly different things. I think it needed all that heat to slip the laminations. It was right on the edge of too much heat.

Not gonna lie, I clenched up a little. But it turned out very nice.

[@jonahguitarguy]

You and me both mrwaffles. Thanks!
