    1950s Brown Lifton Case Restoration

    Any tips on restoring an old case? This late '50s acoustic case is in pretty good shape, but it has been taped around the seams and is down to bare wood in some places. Is it best just to remove the tape, and glue the seams back?

    '64 Red 335 Stolen in Maryland

    My uncles house was robbed and his original cherry 335 was stolen. He did not have it documented. I haven't seen it in 15 years, but it was clean (he never played it) and it had a factory Bigsby with the custom made plaque. Any leads appreciated.

    '64 non-reverb Deluxe on ebay

    These amps are extremely good sounding. This is a clean one from very early '64. Mine does not have the same OT, but I've heard a buddies that has this series, and it sounds killer too. After this, they just aren't as good. '63-early'64 units are the ones...

    It appears that another live Bloomfield recording from early 1969 has surfaced. This show is apparently from the personal stash of Mark Naftalin (Keyboardist).
