I bought this on ebay last summer from a guy who had not only ruined it, but charged me $300 for his $80 shipping. (yes i got the reciept with the guitar after it arrived....4 weeks after being shipped
).
Anyway im determined to make the most of this classic guitar, so far i have removed what was left of the hardware and stripped the body. Apparently this used to be blue, but he thought a few layers of varnish over a non figured top would look way better...![Clap](https://www.jcfonline.com/core/images/smilies/claps.gif)
I also took the heel down as far as i could giving it a soloist join, as well as scalloping the rear horn in a similar way in which i have also done another guitar of mine (USA soloist).
This has come out remarkably well so far, i just need to get varnish off the neck and the inside top horn, then i can go over it with fine paper before beginning the recoat.
