Guitar

I talked the guy at the Seward Attic down to 22.50 (from $45) on this broken guitar. Brought it home and put in a nine volt battery for the pickup . . . Played it through the amp with these three strings, and got sound.

That evening I glued and clamped the neck. The fretboard was still in good shape and the guitar has a truss rod . . . 

With the neck securely clamped, I started chipping away the finish with a razor blade. 

The next evening after a little more work with the blade and a vigorous sanding of the neck, I put. On some strings and took it for a test drive. I think eventually something will happen with the finish . . . I might paint it or something, but for now it is a solid little beater. I still need to adjust the action a bit, but that is a minor tweak. . .
