mikev Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I have a 1924 mandolin banjo jr that I am trying to restore to something resembling original condition. I have all the pieces, original case, and the head is ok. The problem is the original finish was removed sometime years ago and it was painted (or something). I can tell that is used to black but I cannot tell from internet pictures if they were glossy or flat. Anybody have one?? mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin B Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I would check with Greg Earnest, he is very helpful and a nice guy. This is his web site http://www.earnestbanjo.com/ Also try the Collector's Corner forum section at the Banjo Hangout http://www.banjohangout.org/forum/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=17 Not to take away from this great web site here. But if you don't have any luck those resources might come through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Harvey Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Hey Mike, We have a wonderful restoration department here at Gibson in Nashville if you need that kind of help. As far as the finish is concerned, it's probably varnish. I make a really good varnish cleaner/polish we sell here at the Gibson Showcase. 615 514 2200 ex.3 Good luck.
