Are you kidding me? When i was a teen,i found one of these broken in someones trash...i glued it back together and made a wall hanger for years....idk what happened to it since then, that was like 1983.....

I love how aggressively he sands across the grain.

I love how he chose 2K poly finish instead of lacquer going for looks and playability, sacrificing originality, reversibility, and much of the instrument’s vintage integrity.

It's got its own distinctive twang, put some humbuckers in there and bring it back old and better.👍 <br>A labor of love.

What a stunning and loving present for your wife. My husband is also a musician and the greatest gift he ever gave me was writing me a song so I know how precious this is to her. ❤

After restoring several luxury and performance cars, and owning many guitars going back to the 60s, this was a very satisfying video. Great craftsmanship. Nice work. Hope your wife has enjoyed it.
