"New" vintage uke day

Grabbed this nice baritone off EBAY. Apparently made my Sam Koontz, a luthier of some note among fine jazz guitar fans who was involved in making Harptone and Standel guitars early in his career before striking out on his own and producing a line of highly regarded and very expensive archtop guitars which bear his name.

Nice! Lucky you!

Thanks folks - it's a good one. I think most folks passed on it because it had some kind of "water spot damage" front, sides and back (see before and after pics below). Not sure what actually happened, but I figured for the low price it was worth trying to fix. Turns out it was a very easy fix and it looks great now.

You did I nice job fixing it up. It is really nice. I like the wood grain. Congratulations.

Jim Hanks · May 16, 2013

Very dramatic improvement! What was the fix?
