Ouch! Enough to make you cry...

Post by KingKarlos »

While searching for 325 images on google recently, I found this...

http://www7a.biglobe.ne.jp/~miyata-kobo ... F-E-4.html

Begs the question as to how it happened.

Great repair job though.

Odd color-correction on those photos. The fretboard wood's color looks pretty close on my monitor, but those guards seem to be painted copper...

(Sorry, couldn't resist those last 3...)

Gil, thanks for the translation link...I am so glad that it "became completion". Ya gotta love Babelfish; it's the same sort of babel you can expect from a fish, I've found.
