Came across a 1115 today, serial #K-157, winged bridge, bellied top with a couple of cracks, asking $239. Doubt it is worth that, but would like some opinions on whether or not it is salvageable without replacing the top. If so, how to go about it. Rough ballpark for a Mothership treatment?

I have a pic, but no idea how to post it.

If the the saddle height can be adjusted for the action you want, go for it. Check for loose braces. Humidify it. Play it and enjoy. Big bang for the bucks. M^2
