OK /diy/nglers, let's save this piece of shit guitar that I drunkenly won on ebay for 55 bucks. I'm going to try and keep the budget under 250, which I believe to be doable.
The back is rosewood, not sure of the specific specie. The auction claimed BR BR BR but I doubt it.
The sides look fairly decent. Binding channels are cut, but they're shit.
The end strip is goofed up a bit as well. Probably going to dump a shitload of epoxy in there and call it a day.
First thing I did was rip the top off, which was easy, seeing as how it was barely glued on the. I just shoved a flat tip screwdriver in there, and started popping if off, bit by bit. Looks like the rosewood is plied, but it looks good, so who cares.
Who the hell glued this? Jeez...
Shims shims shims. I don't have any routers handy, so I'm going to have to make this work somehow. Fairly certain a shitload of epoxy is going to be involved.
This is the stupidest bracing layout I have ever seen. Good thing I took this off, seeing as how it's not worth a shit.
That's going to be it for tonight. We'll see what I can get done tomorrow.
I will follow this thread. Thanks, OP.
