Gecko -> One Piece Back?? (Mar. 24 2006 10:24:14)
|
I have been looking for a "beater" negra, something that is structurally sound, playable, but needs minor work and is inexpensive. My reasons are to learn to do some upgrades, refinish, play around with the action, make a saddle etc. Hopefully, this would keep me out of the bars next winter. [:D] I may have found one that might suit this purpose. Allegedly it was made in Spain in the mid-sixties, solid woods (BRW & Spruce), as near as anyone can tell, and appears structurally sound, straight neck, etc., with a repaired crack on the back's lower bout. It is a 650/52 which I wanted because of my small hand size. If you look at the picture you will see that the back appears to be one piece of wood. Is this of any major import or concern? I know about as much about guitar construction as I do compas! [:)]
