I have been gifted a vintage Standard by a cottage neighbour in Quebec
who grew up in Kaneohe Hawaii.
She and her mother purchased it in 1976 for $70 as present for her brother later killed on his motorcycle.
As you can see, the action is a tad high and needs adjustment. The back has also separated on one side.
It was carelessly stored for decades in Hawaii and it appears that the local flavour of cockroach or similar has ingested a good portion of the label. The owner also scratched his name on it.
Is it possible to get a replacement White Label and if so is it a wise move to replace.
I have read that Kamaka sometimes place their current label on restorations they do. (I’m too impatient to send away anyway)
I am inclined to keep as is for sentimental reasons but would appreciate input on my options.
