So about a year ago I picked up this guitar , the original owner for some insane reason had "protected" it by painting the back and sides with a paintbrush and clear varnish..., the bridge was lifting and the bridge plate was splintering. I take it to one of my luthiers ( I have several) and tell Dave to fix it. I finally get it back this week and man o man does Dave do phenomenal work . He honestly had to disassemble the guitar, rework, re glue ,reset and refinish everything but the fretboard and front of the headstock. Superb is all I and my fellow vintage friends can say.Brazilian slab sawn rosewood .
