This ace vintage Hohner Les Paul was recently in the workshop for a mini restoration!
The guitar had been sat for years, the finish was dirty and dull before the clean. It was treated to a full detail clean and hand polish, a new switchcraft jacksocket and mounting plate, wiring tidy, some minor structural repairs along with a full setup to complete the work!

The jacksocket plate was in such a state it disintegrated on removal!
You can also see the cracks in the body through the missing binding, these guitars were made with the top shaped and stuck onto the body, giving a hollow space underneath! With this guitar the cracks were allowing the top to lift off the body!
