It needed a neck reset,some attention to the bridge and wiring harness, a new nut, and a refret. I had to take the back off and redo the binding in order to do the neck reset.
These photos were taken when it was finished and ready to ship back to Australia. As you can see, except for the absence of buckle rash on the back (which it'll get soon enough!), it was kept in its original appearance, despite having to strip the sides to install the new binding.
This is a real relic...no phoniness. It's earned its scars and wears them proudly!
