Scott - The guitar won't be back for at least a couple of weeks. I thought it just needed frets, but it also had a loose internal brace, the bridge needs re-glueing and the nut has to be re-cut and shifted the slightest amount toward the base side. It's not really that pretty of a guitar. I'm pretty sure it was one of the lowest priced models - all mahogany with no frills. But, boy, it's one sweet sounding box. My girlfriend is the musician in the family, playing professionally in at least three separate bands here in L.A. including Lisa Haley and the Zydekats. Me, I just dink around and have fun but I do enjoy a nice sounding instrument.
