Restoring my 1994 G&L Legacy guitar case

Post by Congiano »

Hello!

This is my G&L Legacy Guitar Case Restoration Repair, I needed to replace latches, repair the missing plastic, remove bumper stickers and paint residue, along with cleaning up the rust, and added an inlay effect.

I got the guitar used about 15 years ago and the case was damaged... I finally decided to take a crack at fixing it!

This is a link to my YouTube video of the repair, photos below

This is very cool. I have cases that need to be fixed but I've never known exactly how to do it. I'll watch our video closely.

Thanks guys!!!

I have 2 frets that are a little bit high, along with quite a few frets that are a bit flat and need to be re-crowned. I guess that can happen after 25 and a half years!

Time to address that and make another video!
