This fine old guitar needed the neck reset, and a new bridge to replace the original which had split and then been "repaired" at some point. Also, all the back braces were loose and needed to be reglued. We were able to clean up most of the mystery goo around the bridge.
This is very impressive to see! I would never have the nerve to disect a Martin 00-45! Can I ask a question (or 2); is a 00-21 going to produce the same sound and action if it is a fine old one? It is essentially the same wood, right? 2nd, can you recommend a new guitar that would be close? I am thinking of a new Collings with Madagascar Rosewood and Adirondack Spruce. Any suggestions? Help!! Please??? Thanks, Mike michaelpflorio@gmail.com
