I needed a brown case, and this rig was cheaper than I could find just the case on Ebay. I might try my hand at replacing the top or just part it out.

Check out the action. I think it's around 1" at the 12th fret. Should be good for training purposes.

Beautiful neck! What a shame about the CDX. Geez, you think he could have used a bit thicker ply? At least it doesn't need bracing. Neck almost makes it worth sending to Mom for reincarnation.

What would it be? $500ish to get a nearly new guitar with a cool old neck?

Hello TJ,
Congratulatioins on a good eye for a bargain.
I have some brand new beautiful cedar shingles that I have been looking at for years. They are 24"x9" clear after I trim the burrs off them. They would make a beautiful tone after I strut them with about seven or perhaps nine fingers inside. A nice summer project, now that the winter temperatures are slowly leaving the Great Lakes.
Regards
Jim

Well, I emailed Mr. Budny, and assuming he doesn't laugh so hard as to accidentally delete the email after he see's the pictures, he should get back to me with a couple of prices on restoration/different configuration.

Jimbob, I returned your email. I'll let you know after I hear back from John.
