OMG! My original 1959 Gibson Les Paul is infested with Termites!?
I've tried everything! I dipped the whole guitar in bleach, I placed it in the stove, Froze it, drowned it in the bath tub and these damn pests are still in there! They are either termites or fire ants. I can hear them munching inside so I think they're fire ants. My Vintage sunburst Les Paul had the most beautiful tone I ever heard. Now it's like 5 lbs lighter and full of termite cavities. The body and neck feel unstable and might colapse any day now. This thing was passed down in my family and I really feel like saving it. Unfortunately now it is ruined and even the pickups dont work (seeing how they're not waterproof, heatproof, or bleachproof) If I can still save the body of the guitar is it possible to still get some doh out of this at an auction or something? I think my grandpa said this guitar is worth more the older it gets. Since I dont know much about guitar prices, would this affect the value of this guitar even though it looks like you can still attach and play strings? Cosmetically, it is ruined.
