Got the 1968 F212 back from the luthier. He glued the Guild plate back down on the headstock, shaved some of the lower frets that were buzzing, repaired 2 cracks in the top and braced the crack in the top which ran along the side of the neck in order to prevent the neck from pulling toward the bridge. I polished the frets, oiled the fretboard, waxed the body/neck and put on a light set of Elixers . Looking good, feeling solid and sounding good. S/N AN 1840. Can anyone confirm that this is Hoboken built? Cheers.

I talked to my Luthier Rick at Carmine St guitars in NYC. He wasn't so sure that the bridge had been replaced but noted that it might've been shaved at some point.

Your photo was taken at an angle, so it's difficult to judge the shape of the bridge.
Maybe you could tell me what the width of the bridge is at the tip of the wings?
