Ross Campbell Does anyone restore old guitar cases? (27) RE: Does anyone restore old guitar cases? 12 Aug 12

When I lived in St Annes, Lancashire, I used to call in occasionally at Norman Heaps' Music Shop. On one visit someone came in to promote their vinyl repair service, claiming that their repairs/mends were indistinguishable from new. This was thirty-odd years ago so I have no great hopes of contacting them.

However, this firm (operating a mobile service in SW England and East Anglia) seems to offer pretty much the same thing, and the illustrated guitar case does look pretty good after treatment.

I presume fabric-covered ("tweed") cases would need different treatment - invisible mending perhaps?

Several DIY kits for vinyl/leather repair offered here - http://www.repairproducts.co.uk/page3.htm - might try one of these myself.
