I have an '81 GC 1127. It has a couple of issues; slight waving on the top, very slight; there is a slight hump at the 14th fret,and there's even the slightest bit of separation between fretboard and body, which appears to have happened early in the guitar's history. It plays like a dream; intones as near perfect as you can get, action perfect, stays in tune forever. I don't intend on selling it. Do I send it out to mother to make it perfect or do accept it as it is?

They do a great job...but I think it's up to you...personally, I'd leave it as is if it plays like you say it does...

She ain't too pretty but she cooks, cleans and irons. Save your money for something else.

My Opinion? Pick up your guitar and play, just like yesterday. ;)

Thanks guys. I figured you'd say that. True guitarists. It ain't pretty, but it sure plays good. I'll follow your advice.
