SubsonicSimpleton Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Just a thought, but it might be worth disinfecting the cavivites and neck pocket with tea tree oil to kill any potential mould/spores. Looks like you got a nice result from the application of a bit of elbow grease though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slappindabass Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 They cost a bit to get here but they all seem to be good guitars. Obviously its a gamble. I have had one with a broken truss. But good with the bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
