They were never a mainstay of their acoustic lines but they made them for awhile. Not sure if they still do. They come up for sale around me from time to time and the ones I always see are from the 1960s. They're not particularly valuable - usually they're selling for well under $1000. I don't know how Gibson classicals are viewed in the general classical guitar community.
Really cool video. We have a 1965 C1 classical but ours does not have the 3 piece neck. Ours just has the 1 piece mahogany neck, without the maple center strip.
Doing all those repairs inside the body seems so difficult and uncomfortable to the arms-the small space, the odd angles, and the lack of hand leverage! But you always manage to do what needs to be done.
I especially like Gibson's exquisite, hand-inlaid rosette decal. The restoration is way more impressive than the guitar. Looks like it was played a lot though.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t impressed with that caul fabrication. Well done sir.
Thank you very much Joey. The 'ol gravestone rubbing method works well!
Didn't know Gibson made a classical guitar!

It's the second one I've done on so many months!
It is the little things that differentiate a good shop from a great one. Saving the internal sticker was a nice touch.
Thanks, the sticker is part of the guitar's history.

Nice! Pre- Norlin!

Yep, and it's actually in very nice condition. Great video again..
A very interesting video. I had heard there were nylon stringed versions. Had never seen one in the wild!
This one was the first of 2 i've seen the past month!

It definitely can be a challenge sometimes!
Thanks for sharing them tricks! You need a new fishing hole.
You bet! Maybe next time I'll catch a Martin!
Luv it!!!

LOL! Indeed!
