I saw this on eBay and the price seems right, but man that crack in the soundboard is gnarly.
Also, the rope and abalone (?) rosette and bindings are in pretty bad shape.
The pineapple decal is in good shape, but the instrument may need to be re-finished also and who knows what else may be wrong with it, neck, frets, other cracks, etc. No idea how a re-finish would affect the pineapple decal.
If someone walked in with this instrument, what do you think it would cost to fix her up? Is it something that could be fixed up?
she has some potential, but ugh, that's a lot of work.
