Location: Villa Park Ill | I recently aquired a 'O' with a aluminum neck...the frets are bad can this be fixed? Also, some one removed the serial #'s and inside tag , so there are no markings, does any one know more about this ...it has a black headstock,the spruce top is recessed.its acoustic/electric, but there are no knobs. Any help would be appreciated, RJ |
