This guitar was a basket case. Held together by a rope it was ready to fall apart completely. The sides, top and back had numerous cracks and splits.
The back had come apart from the sides and the finish was pretty nasty. You can also see the painted on bindings indicating an inexpensive instrument.
The tuners were crusty and did not turn at all . The knobs crumbled in my hands.
The guitar was completely taken apart. The braces were repaired as well as all cracks and splits. It was sanded and the finish completely removed. New black plastic bindings were installed, and the headstock was painted with black lacquer. The body was left natural and an amber french polish finish was applied.
New gold plated tuners, bone nut, and floating bridge were added. The old tailpiece and pick guard were cleaned up and reinstalled.
The finished guitar, ready to make sweet music once again.....
