This is a Gretsch from probably the late 1940s to 1950.
It needs a neck reset and additional work.
But when the top off I got rather surprised concerning the quality of the inside work considering that these were made to compete with(?) the top of the line ukes of those days.
What would you do with those ribs that are no round edges and placed obliquely?
Leave them the way they are or fix them?
Do you think it would make any acoustical difference to alter them in the "proper" way?
