Re: What to Do?
In the condition as you have described it the value is basically nothing. If it was playable with no cracks or defects the value might be $100.00 to $200.00 maybe $300.00 on a good day if the planets align and you find the right buyer. Repaired the value isn't going to be more than that. The cost of doing the repair will probably exceed the value of the instrument no matter what. If you're going to get it repaired then go in with your eyes wide open. Also, as Richard has mentioned it might not just be a top issue and that bowlback construction is unlike any guitar your friend has ever seen.
