Picked up this busted Seagull S6 model to see if it could be repaired. The verdict is still out, since I am not sure if I will continue on or just scrap it for parts. The top was busted up pretty bad and so it was taken off completely and what remained was glued back together.
Plywood sides and back with cherry veneer. Solid cedar top.
Back was seperated as well
Inside look at LR Baggs micro eq equalizer w/volume, bass, treble controls
Bolted neck joint. Brown plastic binding with small plastic cream purfling.
Removed all the braces from the top to salvage. There is a plywood brace mixed with spruce braces. If continued new top will have all new replacement spruce braces.
Some more pictures of taking apart, cleaning up, gluing back together.
That was the easy part. I picked out a cedar set that I had for the replacement top. Now to decide to continue on or not. I have done a top replacement similar to this with plywood sides and have had a hard time with the bindings and damaging finish on sides. To be continued..
