My wife picked up a project for me at an antique store the other day. Based on my research (google), I believe it's what's called a Gretsch "Camp Uke". It obviously hasn't been taken care of and is missing a few pieces, as well as separating at some of the seams.
I'd love to repair it as best I can and I'm hopeful that it can be playable once again. Just from looking at it I'm guessing that someone else started working on it at some point since half of the top appears to have been sanded down a bit. The bridge is intact and in good shape, but not currently attached to the ukulele. It's missing a tuning peg and the nut.
There's some separation at the sides in places, but I don't see any cracks, and the neck appears to be straight enough. Please check out the pictures and I'd appreciate any kind of advice on how to go about fixing this.
Thanks!
