I live this part: "TO A GOOD LUTHIER, THIS IS RESTORABLE." I'd beg to differ. The top is wrecked, the back is wreck, I assume the neck is trash, the tuners, fretboard, frets, tailpiece, bridge, braces are all garbage. Restoring this would require replacing the entire thing piece by piece and at that point you really aren't restoring it, you're building a new one.
The tuners, tail piece, and pick guard are not necessarily trash but every thing else is.

Due to current budgetary restrictions the light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off -- sorry about the inconvenience.
