This guitar was bought new in the early 90’s in LA. It traveled with me to Santa Cruz for a couple of years, to Portugal, to Boston, and finally to Amsterdam where it’s mostly been at my daughter’s for the last 3 years. It’s got a mahogany body and neck and a cedar top. The only defect was a slight amount of top lift behind the bridge but not affecting its performance, and the normal wear and tear scratches. I finally got around to restoring a few things:
- the whole body, neck and fingerboard needed cleaning
- two nut slots needed to be filled with epoxy and reshaped
- string posts tightened
- saddle reshaped and lowered a tiny amount
- frets recrowned and polished
- a small hole in the top lacquer filled with super glue
- strung with Gibson Super Ultra Lights 10s (Phosphor Bronze)
