| The repairs on this guitar are actually no big deal... 3 options.. Glue braces and refinish top.. Or replace the top but save the bowl and neck.. Thats the more expensive repair.. The quickest would be replace the top and blowl.. |

Location: SoCal | That last option would be the primary choice as right now, due to the building of the JW reissue, it would be no big deal to put on a new body.
But if I were going to do that, I'd probably just buy a JW reissue and have a full warranty. |

Location: SoCal | I could see a certain person hand carrying it in...saving shipping cost; the authorized to do a $29.95 "Special".
Top and bowl...why? Will it play any better? Whoever does that is destroying the original instrument. So what if it has a few imperfections...check braces, seal and buff, ship from factory. Either a piece of history or, as suggested, buy a reissue. |

Location: Pacific Northwest Inland Empire | Agreed. My latest refurbishment, a venerable (1981) Country Artist, wil carry a rather prominent "dueling scar", until the top totally collapses. Trust me, that won't be anytime soon. |

Location: Nova Scotia, Canada | Same here...I am a diehard vintage buff and as long as something doesn't detract greatly from playability and sound, I much prefer original to shiny-perfect.
Case in point, here is a pic of my fugly old '62 strat. Far from perfect to look at but would I trade it for a new one? No way.
