I hope this is an apropriate message... If not. my apologies... I am always interested in basket case Stradolins... too damaged to play, too expensive to repair, but still a Stradolin and too nice to discard as trash. Usually with a lot of work they can be rebuilt or restored as players. I do this as a labor of love and would appreciate learning of any Strad you might have in non-playable condition which you might have but lack the skills or interest to repair yourself. If you have one as described I would be interested in knowing about it and discussing condition and asking price.
