Re: 1960 Gibson Korina Explorer " Kandye Kane " Guitars West Owned on ebay
Clive,
This is my take on it.
They are not going to line up perfectly. Because they were a mistake to begin with, the blade "skipped" from the guard onto the paint. So there is going to be a slight variable.
There are all kind of peculiar tooling marks all around the guard....I only posted a small sampling of the photos Richard sent me. There are areas on the guard where there are no tool marks. This is a complete aberration among All of the hundreds of Gibson guards I have observed over 30+ years.
You also have the undeniable dremil buffing wheel marks on the treble side of the neck pickup and the poor quality 4 ply lamination work.
Look again, they don't line up! Read the other post I did explain.
