Description
So this ended up not working sorry to say. I had a solid continuity reading from end to end. I’m trying to run DC current through this truss rod to heat it up so I can release the glue and pull it out. After 5 minutes I was getting basically no heat increase though. I think there’s just too much resistance. Any thoughts?

The #two #tenors …
Strange things compound and waves of occurrence do often occur. These two instruments came in on the same day, from two different clients. Both tenors are bout 100 years old. One #banjo one #tenorguitar #occurrence #serendpity

Here’s the second in a series of posts about a vintage B. Rico flamenco guitar from 1970… “Rico” as in Rich, and “B” as in “BC”… Bernardo Chavez Rico… BC Rich.
Here we’ve removed the top. It was a little nasty, but the sides are untouched and re-binding will turn out well.
I believe this guitar was made by Bernie himself. He was a known flamenco player, a known builder of flamenco guitars, and he’d been building guitars out of his father’s shop for a decade by 1970, the date on this label.
It’s also around this time he started doing more with steel strings and adopting the name change for the brand. Just as he and his father were starting to see more popularity with electric solid body guitars, it’s said that his father was also producing guitars with builders from Paracho, but that was supposedly in the 50’s and early 60’s.
This guitar was made one year after Bernie made his first electric. And this is one of the last nylon guitars with the original name from his original shop in East Los Angeles.
Bernie saw it coming and he was perfectly positioned for the rock and metal scenes that dominated the late 70s and early 80s. B.C. Rich became a huge name brand in the world of guitars.
Anyway, we’re doing a full re-top on this guitar and bringing it back to life. To learn how this all got started, go visit the last post about this.
We have a nice cedar top prepped and seamed. Almost ready to install the prefab rosette from @luthiersmerchantile
