What was done to it? Nothing earth-shattering. Here's the repair list:
Repair top dings (You can still see them though not as obvious. They've been filled and evened with the rest of the finish.)
Repair headstock dings (Two scratches are still there, no biggie. But otherwise a definite improvement.)
Level/dress frets
Adjust and set action (It was terrible! Became a real finger-breaker around the 7th fret. It was worth going the MS route just to get this fixed.)
That's it. It was nice before it went back home for a visit. Now it looks almost new and plays like butter....very loud butter. :cool:
I have a set of Paul Templeman's walnut tuning keys that I bought for my 87C, but I think they'll look better on this one. They'll nicely compliment the walnut bridge, fingerboard, and binding don't you think? |
