Members Freeman Keller Posted August 25, 2017 Members Share Posted August 25, 2017 What'cha going to do to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members crustoleum Posted August 25, 2017 Author Members Share Posted August 25, 2017 the glue is old, brittle, needs strut work, binding neck reset...lots...but, I do believe the time, effort and $ will be worth it, I need to find more pics of "stock". The tail, and plate may not be right...My daughter in law found it in a trash barrel, driving to work, on trash day, a few months ago...lol It is somewhat dis-assembled now...slow progress.

Members Freeman Keller Posted August 25, 2017 Members Share Posted August 25, 2017 Actually I was wondering what you meant by "restoration" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members crustoleum Posted August 25, 2017 Author Members Share Posted August 25, 2017 I can do set ups, but to do a rebuild on a guitar as such is way beyond my present craftwork abilities. I am fortunate to have a fine luthier, next town over...I will have his team do the work. Has done other work for me, perfect, timely...really cant ask for more. Don't work for him, but he is quite good...imho http://www.guitardoctor.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeepEnd Posted August 26, 2017 Members Share Posted August 26, 2017 Looks like a sweet old guitar. Post pics of the restoration if possible. Maybe the folks at Guitar Doctor would be willing to take pics if you ask nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
