Vintage Gibson Guitars Repair And Restoration

Gibson is one of the most established and recognizable brands in the history of guitar manufacture. Having been founded in 1894, they have provided musicians with a wide array of instruments, both acoustic and electric, with their most recognizable being Les Paul electric guitar, introduced in 1952. Gibson guitars have been used extensively throughout the years both in studios and on the road and are considered trusty workhorses for the players’ thanks to their sound, stability and classic image. Thus, these instruments are often seen having many wear and tear signs from the many hours of use. If these signs are only cosmetic, like the paint wearing down and flaking off or slight scratches and dents in the wood, and don’t interfere with the playability of the instrument, they are often referred to as mojo and may actually be desirable by some players or collectors, as they give a certain vintage and authentic aged look that is hard to get otherwise. On the other hand, there are also a lot of very old instruments that didn’t get played much – if at all - and remained in cases for decades, in which case their ‘mint’ condition warrants a much heftier price tag.

In both these scenarios though there is often some repair and restoration work to be done for these vintage instruments to be fully functioning again and reach their maximum sale prices. 

Apart from these two main issues usually encountered on vintage Gibson guitars, a restoration and repair work usually includes a full setup of the guitar, ensuring optimal playability, intonation and original sound, replacing any missing or damaged parts with outsourced original vintage Gibson guitar parts, as well as fixing any cosmetic blemishes if the intention is to preserve a clean and ‘minty’ condition. The restoration of guitars and the market for parts for Gibson guitars still remain an integral part of the guitar manufacturing industry to this day.

Skateboarding and Longboarding on and Around Campus

Even though alternative transportation is rampant on Whitman’s small campus, only a handful of Whitman students skateboard. Whether longboarding to class or skating for leisure, those who own boards on campus represent a small fraction of the student body. Whitman’s campus isn’t exactly ideal for the sport. For skateboarding you mainly just need an open, rarely frequented area with various obstacles and terrain. If there is a skatepark nearby, obviously that is a large draw, but for Whitman students, the nearest park is in College Place. On campus, skaters use the small area outside of Olin Hall or can be seen behind North Hall practicing tricks. As for longboarding, all one really needs is a hilly area that is hopefully nicely paved, ideally with not much traffic.  In Walla Walla, serious elevation change is something of a rarity, so most long boarders on campus mainly direct their hobby toward getting to class. However, there are students who do manage to find places off ca...

B12 Benefits While Pregnant

If you are pregnant, or trying to conceive, you know that taking folic acid is essential for the healthy development of your baby. But according to the World Health Organization, vitamin B12 is just as important in preventing neural tube and other neurological defects in infants and unfortunately as many as 1 in 20 adults is deficient in this essential vitamin. Vitamin B12 is important because "it helps keep the body's nerve and blood cells healthy and helps make DNA, the genetic material in all cells," explains Peter Shaw, M.D., chief medical officer of pharmaceutical company Emisphere, which manufactures B12 supplements. "A deficiency is associated with increased risk for several adverse pregnancy outcomes for both mother and fetus.
