So I went to see my Dad in Texas, he's an Antique Dealer, and he had this guitar in his shop he gave me. I thought it'd be fun to fix it up and let the kids bang on it. Anyone know the brand or anything? The label on the inside looks like it has had 3 labels affixed to it.
I've cleaned it up and it looks a lot better. I bought new tuning keys, and I got the wrong ones. Anyone need some for a classical guitar? I first blamed the guy at Straight Music in Austin who didn't seem much help, but then I realized that as someone asking about repair parts, they probably assumed I know more than I do. Now I'm back in Kansas with the wrong parts.
To clean the guitar I used GoJo hand cleaner. It's what my dad uses on his antique furniture. NOT the kind with pumice! Worked real well, just hope it's OK on the fretboard. I found a few serious dings on the bottom after cleaning it.
Oh, and the one string was in tune!
