Looks like great stuff Ron. There is also useful advice on this website for anyone who has spent a few thousands on a guitar and been disappointed with the sound. "Tap questionable areas with a hard instrument and listen for hollow sounding dead spots. Probe suspect areas with an ice pick or sharp knife." Rob

A good Santos is always worth it. Rohan Lowe restored a 1929 Santos that was in a bad state. Apart from other problems, half the rosette had fallen out and been replaced with white plaster filler. He has some photos on his website. Rohan is a fine restorer. http://loweguitars.co.uk/restoration/1929SantosHernandez.web/Santos-Hernandez1929.htm Another wrecked Santos (shown in the picture) appeared on ebay a couple of years ago. It sold for a large sum. Rob Images are resized automatically to a maximum width of 800px

Dear People of the World, If you cannot care for your irreplaceable stringed treasures, please post them to Brune. Yours, Me

If it is the jim westbrook i know then rohan may have already seen the instrument. I think the guitar is in a repairable state perhaps but i think the bit where it says restored into a valuable instrument is the clue. Restorable but perhaps not valuable

a seriously damaged guitar can be restored, but it will only be as good as the restorer's personal instruments. If it were Brune, I would rather he simply build me a new guitar than fix up one of these totally DEAD hunks of wood. Ricardo

It's too bad the restorer of the 1929 Santos did not take the original rosette fragments from under the neck and rein corporate them in the missing areas of the rosette. That's passable restoration job, but it's more proper to call it a conservation effort. it shows which area is is orginal and which sections are replacements. A top grade restoration job would have hidden the transition between old a new much better. There are repairmen out there who could have grafted new wood into top and rosette in such a way that it would have been difficult to tell and a clear tap plate could have been used. For the right amount of money that job could have been flawless.
