AL Segen has a 83 1651 Stereo Legend Limited (Lennon) that has zero finish cracks in the cyano.. unfortunately has been kept too dry for it's entire life, and has concaved slightly, with some minor neck dive.... the guitar is still playable... and sound great up till about the 12/13th fret...

is there a safe/secure way of re-humidifiying it slowly enough so as to NOT crack the finish in the process? I don't care if it takes, weeks or months... just would prefer not to add cracks to the finish..... looks like it spent too many nights at the campfires or in the camper...

very dark walnut finish on this one... darkest I've seen on a 1651, but similar to the depth of color on the bicentennials.

Thanks for any help or advice in advance, and yes the guitar is for sale.

Glenn and AL

The best humidifier is the Oasis.Loosen your strings,put it in,cover the sound hole with something,and then put it in the case.Check every couple of days and fill it up.Top will come right up.Magic....
