Ok, here`s my idea,
I`m thinking about wrapping my 76 Phonics in leather, (real hide, not that split stuff they make boots out of) I don`t know much about value and acustics, I just play them. I got a few questions and I`d like some input on from the guys here, cuz some of you are quite knowlageable and expierienced.
Because they would be stitched/shrunk on tight, (no adhesives) would they still retain their vintage value if I had to get slighty longer screws (stainless steel), or should I save the old ones for future restore ?
Is this gonna change alot the way they sound now ??
Has anyone ever seen or heard of this being done ???
I`m gonna put rose paper on the back of the leather to protect the origonal finish and I`m just wondering what you guys think !! Any warnings or advice would be greatly appreachiated !!
